Sounds like you don't have dialup networking installed. Just run Windows setup and install dialup networking and it'll probably work. You shouldn't need TCP or anything fancy like that unless you were gonna play across a lan.

If i did what you said right... it didn't work.

Any other ideas (or more help with first idea)

thanks for the help though

I just want to play this great game I keep hearing about!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH

Re: e sock error Help!!!!!!
 

Did you reboot afterwards? You have to reboot for something like that to take effect.

Re: e sock error Help!!!!!!
 

Yep rebooted, dial up networking was there anyway. I just tried to re-install and upgrade with the patch , same problem!! Can't get past it

what am i doing wrong???

Thanks for all your help

Anything else I can check???

Re: e sock error Help!!!!!!
 

What Version of Windows?

Re: e sock error Help!!!!!!
 

Windows 95

Re: e sock error Help!!!!!!
 

My advise, uninstall the game. Delete the old folders, reinstall the game, download a new Version of the latest patch. Patch it. Should work. I had this happen before and that fixed it.

Thanks for the advise deathstalker

Did try that very thing, didn't delete all folders though.................

Re: e sock error Help!!!!!!
 

Here is a dumb question....

Would it matter if windows is on one drive and se4 is on another????

Re: e sock error Help!!!!!!
 

Other recommendations is to

1. defrag
2. make sure you do it regulary

Re: e sock error Help!!!!!!
 

It's definetly a winsock issue.

Make sure you have the latest winsock, you can get that from Microsoft. There was an updated Version of the winsock that came in Windows 95b.

Re: e sock error Help!!!!!!
 

This is really wierd. By accident I loaded the game from the se4 folder, not the shortcut!!
It works!!!

Guess the shortcut is bad.

Thanks to everyone for their help
Now this "newbee" can play!!

Re: e sock error Help!!!!!!
 

No, Se4 does not have to be on the same drive with Windows.
