Can download some programs but then unable to install them

The same way you did in Post # 27.

OK. Yes, got the clouds so guess Flsahplayer is now installed and working!!
will now try to address the Winsock issues.

Glad to hear are you able to download and install other programs now?

Yes, looks like it. Just downloaded and successfully installed Whatsapp, so looks as if that problem sorted.

Very many thanks for all the help on getting that sorted.

I downloaded Winsock.reg and Winsock2.reg and completed CMD commands but as downloads now installing OK I haven’t gone on to set a static ip - on the basis that as the issue I had has been resolved it may be best as it is - or should I carry on and set the static ip?

Do you feel this is solved then.

You also only have a little over 10% of your system drive as free space, not saying it’s your issue here but it sure will help your system to remove some apps you don’t use.

BTW would be grateful if someone can tell me which of those programs listed on post #35 attachment can be deleted without causing problems.

Yes. The problem is solved - many thanks
I shall mark as solved.

What I stated in Post #39 and any thing else that you do not need or use.

Sorry! Thought I’d replied to that! I don’t have the original Vista install disk, or any of the original disks, so really would have to delete progs via Control Panel or Revo etc. I just wondered about all those Microsoft ones and whether recent updates have rendered any of the older ones unnecessary.
