Hello,

Yesterday, my Vista Home Edition 64 bits worked perfectly fine, but today
when I booted it and logged in I was met with several applications that had
crashed.
The programs that crashed were all using a TCP/IP connection of some sort:
Windows Live Messenger, gmail notifier - even the "Watson Client" that
searches the Microsoft online documentation crashed (endless loop there).

I did a bit of a search to find any errors and noticed that ping/tracert and
telnet all work perfectly.
I even reset to a prior working configuration but nothing happens,
diagnosing and repairing the network connection doesn't work, either.
I am behind a router, but this computer (not running Vista) is connected to
the same works perfectly fine.




Thanks for any help,
Jonas

Me again.

It turns out my winsock was busted and after some searching I found the
command:
netsh winsock reset

which did the trick and got everything back to normal!
