[RESOLVED] Winsock Error "not registerable"

hi
i need to add a winsock control to my project, so i open add component, do browse and find winsock.dll. but when i click ok it says this error occurred:

the file 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\winsock.dll' was not registerable as an ActiveX component

did this happen to anyone before??
and does anyone know how to solve this probelm??
i really need this to work...
thanks in advance
:)

Project > Components > Microsoft Winsock (Mswinsck.ocx) Mswinsck.OCX, not winsock.DLL

is this in system32? because im looking in system32 and i cant find anything called Mswinsck.ocx
is it in some other folder?

Should be in C:\Windows\System32\Mswinsck.ocx

Go in to add a component, click browse and paste this in:

Code:

---

C:\Windows\System32\Mswinsck.ocx

---

And hit Open, it should load.. If not, report back.

when i click open it says 'File not found'
i've tried to search my computer for a file called 'Mswinsck' but nothing turned up.
can it be that it has a different name?
im using windows xp sp2
thanks for helping

google it for download, it should have been installed with vb
