    after installing win2k on a new computer with directx81, ie6 and many micro$oft-patches, i installed these three files:
    wb277r3min.exe 21.931.111 Bytes
    wb27art3.exe 34.392.354 Bytes
    FHLInstall_142.exe 2.533.101 Bytes

    After installation fhl want´s to run the program and it says:
    Invalid wsock32.dll. Please reinstall FreeHost Launcher

    Can´t find a solution.

    Interesting. I'm still trying to get a solution for the 'play track mess up my windows98' problem
    and the first thing I found somehow suspicious was the FHL's own wsock32.dll.
    So I fiddled around with exchanging the original file (in windows\system) with the FHL's file and vice versa.
    Both measures didn't work. It seems that the 312kb winsock.dll in the FHL folder works
    as an addition to the original one (which is only 40kb on my windows 98se).
    A solution to your problem could probably help me with my problem.
    Did you check wether your original wsock32.dll was overwritten by the FHL's version?

    edit: Ah, zu spät gesehen! Die Antwort hätte ich ja gleich in Deutsch schreiben können! ;-)
    Von Windows2000 habe ich mich vor kurzem wieder getrennt. Alles, was mich immer schon an Windows genervt hat, nervt mich bei W2000 noch mehr. Immerhin scheint es laufende Prozesse wesentlich strenger zu überwachen als ältere Versionen. Was bei mir also dazu führt, das mein Windows abkackt, wird bei dir anscheinend vorsorglich abgefangen. Nur 'ne Vermutung...

    Seems like FHLauncher is not "seeing" is own wsock32.dll
    I remember someone saying that the wsock32.dll of FHLauncher has it owns functions used by the FH, so you can't exchange it with the wsock32.dll that ships with Windows (or vice-versa)

    Maybe. FHL also don't start (with error message) if the
    original wsock32.dll is not present.

    Really? Definitely not here, on my W$98se. I tried this: First simply
    rename the file. Second I put an empty text file called wsock32.dll
    into c:\windows\system. Same result: Error message after starting FHL (or play track).
    So FHL not only looks for the presence of original wsock32.dll:
    It seems even checks for it's contants.

    I misunderstood you. I thought you said that FH started even with a blank wsock32 in his folder.
    So, it's right. It doesn't start and (off course) doesn't work :)

    Invalid wsock32.dll. Please reinstall Freehost Launcher

    I have a new Pentium4 with win2k SP3.

    I can play WB without problems on- and offline.
    I installed
    wb277r3min.exe
    wbart3support.exe
    FHLInstall_150.exe

    Than I get this Error:
    Invalid wsock32.dll. Please reinstall Freehost Launcher

    I have to use McAfee VirusScan (version 4.5.1).

    pgp?

    after i installed pgp8.0 and ad-aware6 on my win2k computer, i got the "wrong wsock32.dll" on my last computer.
    from now on, i have four computers, and no way to play wb.fh anymore.

    I have found the error.
    I had to deinstall www.pgp.com.
    Nobody else is using pgp? Maybe with other plugins?

    FHL uses 2 winsocks.dll
    first - default windows one.
    second - FH one (in FHL directory)

    As one of the possible solutions try to place FH winsock.dll to warbirds directory.

    And yes, if 'pgp' replace default windows winsock.dll that can cause a problem.

    Хм. ОК. Стоит PGP. Но оно НЕ меняет wsocks32.dll. Проверил :-\ Но все-равно на нее ругается ФЛанчер.
    Чем такое можете объяснить?

    Винда ХР.

    Тогда просто выгрузи его из памяти. (прибей его процесс)

    Честно? ;) Не очень помогло.
    Хм.

    Стоит еще Аутпост. Имеет вредное влияние, подтверить кто может? Убивал сервис его, не помогало.

    длл не лежит просто так, может быть? может быть она прописана в реестре?
    а пгп... ну пгп диск можно афаир переносить с тачки на тачку, в крайнем случае. хотя это лучше перепроверить. шифрователь... в бате шифрователь ведь такой же. хотя у меня пгп есть, а проблем нет. я бы перепоставил фх после пгп.
