#FAQ: 10064-EN, Date: 2/9/2004

On Windows 95, I am getting the error "Error on loading Winsock2 library (WS2_32.DLL)"

The information in this article applies to :

NewWayService 2.x (English)
NewWayService 2.x (French)

Description

Since version 2.10, NewWayService uses Winsock 2 to perform some tasks such as sending and receiving e-mails. By default, Winsock 2 is not included with Windows 95. It is only included with more recent versions of Windows such as Windows 98, ME, NT 4, etc.

Solution

To fix it, just download and install the Winsock 2 for Windows 95. The Winsock 2 is free and available on the Microsoft web site at:
