An Operation Was Attempted
On Something That Is Not A Socket Error
An increasingly common error, “an operation was attempted on
something that is not a socket”, is caused by a damaged Windows
registry. Predominantly seen amongst Windows XP users, the
error relates to a non-Windows product that has been installed
on a machine. This product will make use of Windows sockets, as
well as the ipconfig, release and renew commands. This will
often cause a corruption of existing socket registry keys and
values.
There is an easy solution and that is to make use of a good
registry repair program. Registry cleaners, like RegCure, will
scan through the registry, identify errors and repair them.
RegCure is the market leader amongst registry repair software,
and our independent tests have shown that it will fix “an
operation was attempted on something that is not a socket”
error.
