SYMPTOMS
========

After you upgrade to version 1.2 of MSN, The Microsoft Network, the MSN icon on
the desktop may not function.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if the Wsock32.dll file is damaged or missing.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, rename the Wsock32.dll file (if it exists) in the
Windows\System folder, and then extract a new copy of the Wsock32.dll file from
your original Windows 95 disks or CD-ROM to the Windows\System folder. The
Wsock32.dll file is located in the Win95_11.cab cabinet file.

NOTE: If you are using a NEC or Compaq computer with a preinstalled version of
Windows 95, the Wsock32.dll file is located in the Win95_19.cab cabinet file.

For information about using the Extract tool, type "extract" (without the
quotation marks) at a command prompt, or see the following article in the
