I am missing the newdot~1.dll file and I also connot connect to the internet with that computer. It is using windows ME. if anyone could help me that would be greatly apreciated.

http://www.cexx.org/newnet.htm click homepage link for info on removing newdotnet from your pc, also see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q303379

here is an easier way of fixing it. Delete/rename winsock2 key in the registry. Then uninstall/resinstall communications in add/remove---> windows setup replaces winsock without having to reinstall windows. (from cexx.org) 1st goto add/remove in control panel and remove newdotnet ,then do the above.^

to rename winsock2 in control panel start-run-type in regedit -click ok then click edit-click find type in winsock2-press enter right click winsock2 -choose rename- rename it oldwinsock2 exit regedit reboot.

before changing anything make a system snapshot in system restore start=programs-accessories-system tools-system restore. so if it goes wrong you can restore to before trying the above suggestions.

Remove new.net spyware or get adaware 5.62 from www.lavasoftusa.com. It will rip it out for you.

The two problems you are having are related, but until you clean off Newdotnet, it will continue to actively corrupt the winsock2 key. Trust me... I've seen it happen too many times.
