Windows Sockets Initialization Failed

Each time I boot-up I get the message "windows sockets initialization failed." This began a while back after some wireless network files were randomly removed from my Compaq 1255 laptop. Does anyone know how to correct this. My system has Win 98 OS and Phoenix Bios with a Pentium Processor.
