Just cleaned out a bunch of spyware with adaware, hijack this, etc. and now I get an invalid syntax error when I try to go to any web page. I even tried the LSPfix tool that has worked before, but it still can't browse. I can ping sites fine so TCP/IP is working. Here's the exact error page: res://C:\Windows\System\SHDOCLC.DLL/syntax.htm Any help would be much appreciated!

Connect but Cannot Browse Registry Fix Works on Xp Pro and Home. Not tested on 2000. Great for resetting winsock when connected using dial-up, DSL or cable but unable to browse any web page. I know how frustrating it is. Specially when you upgrade from dial-up to broadband. Enjoy! Click on Start, then Run. Type regedit. FIRST OF ALL BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY (File --> Export registry file --> Export Range = All --> Enter a filename and remember the location --> Save) Your registry file is backed up. Next: Click once on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so that it is selected. Then click on File, then on Load Hive. Go to My Computer the C Drive, then click twice on the Windows or Winnt folder, then the Repair folder, then click twice on the system or system.bak file. Name the new Key "xp". Minimize the Registry Editor. Click on Start, Run, and type in cmd. Type in the following: reg copy hklm\xp\controlset001\services\winsock2 hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\winsock2 /s /f There is a space (not a carriage return or Enter) separating "reg copy hklm\xp\controlset001\services\winsock2" and "hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\winsock2 /s /f" Hit Enter You will get a message that the operation completed successfully. Exit DOS or command shell. Maximize the Registry Editor. Select the xp folder that was created. Click on File, then UnLoad Hive. You will be prompted to confirm the removal of the folder, click Yes. Exit the Registry. Connect and browse. (No need to reboot the computer.) Beats having to re-install Windows and having to pull your hair all night long in utter frustration!!! I know! Been there, done that! ENJOY! Monti
