Minor Problem

ZebraRampage · 06-13-2004, 01:36 PM

Okay..well these past two days have been hell when it comes to my computer. I'm not going to talk about what happened, because I fixed it now. I ended up having to uninstall windows and reinstall it. The minor problem that I have now is that my wireless usb network adapter won't work. There is an error that comes up everytime I restart my computer, or turn it on. The error says "10038: Socket operation on non-socket". If anyone here knows what that means it would help me out a lot. *sigh* At least I'm done with school, so it won't interfere.

Are both ends of the USB cord firmly inserted into the computer and the receiver? Also, you might want to try plugging it into a different USB port, if you have another one.

Yeah, they're both plugged in firmly, and I don't have another USB port in my computer. I know that I screwed something up when I screwed up my computer though. Does that error have something to do with the configuration not being configured correctly?

Maybe, i saw you should check all of your configs to see, because you just might have f***** yourself over if it wont work.

I'm not sure where I should go to do that though. If you wouldn't mind, could you tell me where?

Try checking your Device Manager (Start--> Control Panel--> System--> "Hardware" Tab--> "Device Manager" Button).

If anything related to USB comes up with a Yellow Question Mark or a Yellow Exclamation Mark, that might be your problem. USB would most likely be under System Devices, or possibly under it's own section.

If that is your problem, I can give you further advice to install the drivers.
