WSOCK32.dll is a very important dll it is used by nearly all microsoft application in some way. If you are recieving this message with many microsoft application then i would bother looking any further than first repairing this file.

You can try manually replacing it from i386 folder using safe mode.

Or just reinstall windows you dont need to format so when asked to format just select leave current operating system intact if you want to backup you data first incase of accident try www.Dmailer-backup-software.com it good and free.

One thing to try is to go to Start->all programs->accessories-> and right click on command prompt, choose to run as administrator.
Type the command: SFC /scannow and hit enter.
Let this run to try and repair the computer, if this doesn’t work, try a system restore to a few days ago and see if that resolves this issue.
