Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad.

This is not good. I can't open any files. When I try to open something,
I get a message saying "Not enough quota is available to process this
command." Furthermore, when I open My Computer, the drives do not have
titles.

Quota means that your computer was part of a network DOMAIN, the domain
settings limit your file space used, do you have a server in your home
or is this a business computer with a server at the office?

You should never accept help from someone without checking out their
history and you can do that on google in most cases. There is NO PERSON
NAMED PCBUTTS1 that is a MVP, it's a faker. See my signature below if
you want to know who you were actually dealing with.

Take your computer to your IT department and let them fix it.

In the future, although trimming is generally good, don't trim out the
*entire* context. I have reconstructed this portion of the thread for
the benefit of others who may not have been following it.

I was in the middle of a very important project requiring a PC. All
of a sudden, I find that I can't connect to the internet. This is
really bad. I need this fixed immediately.

My windows xp is not wireless, so I checked the cables. The computer
is connected to the router, and the router obviously works because I
can access the computer from this mac. I looked at "Network
Connections" and it looks like it's connected. One of the connections
says:

Local Area Connection
Connected, Firewalled
SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Ad

I even connected the computer directly to the modem. I still had no
luck. Any ideas? Again, this is urgent. Please help me.

Be sure to put a space between ipconfig and the /all.

The response should be a listing of your IP address
your physical address (MAC address)
Your subnet mask address
Your default gateway address
Your DSN server address
Your DHCP address

No. It's supposed to be ipconfig/all. There's no space.

Actually, "IPCONFIG /ALL" works just fine, always has.

Leythos's warning unfortunately showed up too late. The "tool" you
downloaded and installed seems to have caused even more damage. In the
future, be wary of downloading and installing files from untrusted
sources. If you're not sure, just wait. If the consensus in this group
is to go ahead, you're probably safe. Otherwise, you're taking chances.

For the time being, try uninstalling the "tool" in Safe Mode. And try
using System Restore. But I'm afraid you might wind up needing to
aggressively scan your PC for malware now.

The Winsock fix tool does it's thing and then it's done, there is no way
to undo the changes and restore to before it ran by just doing an
uninstall. It's a batch file that issues the standard winwsock reset
commands, unless he's inserted bad things into it.

This last post indicates a larger problem than he let on too, it
indicates he's part of a domain, and that there are other issues with
the system. A winsock fix, if done according to MS instructions, would
not give the results that he's seeing.

I would guess that other things were done, possibly from the tool that
was downloaded from butts site or that the OP did a lot more than has
been stated.

I'm doing a virus scan now.

I don't know why I was getting that quota error, but it's gone now. I'm not part of a business network. I am the administrator of the computer. I admit I was pretty stupid to use that software. I was just desperate. The good news is that everything seems to be working perfectly normal at the moment, aside from the one error message I get on startup. Do you think I should get my computer checked out? How soon? I sort of need it really badly for the next couple months.

Sorry to burst your bubble and that of the stalker Leythos, did you read the
part of my sig that says to ignore him? He has you believing my winsock tool
damaged your computer when all it is the standard "Microsoft" netsh
command, nothing more nothing less, netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt. that's
it. I don't know why you got those error but it was not from running the
netsh command. What did you do to get your internet back? if nothing then
how do you know it was not the winsock tool that fixed it. BTW the netsh int
ip reset resetlog.txt does a little more then the netsh winsock reset does
which is what you ran using the other utility.

Chris, if you read the post, I clearly stated that his description
indicates there were OTHER problems with his computer, my comment about
your download page was that we don't know what an UNETHICAL person like
you might add to a file from such an unethical website as yours.

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting
directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to
pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST
Block list?

pcbutts, I know you think that Leythos is a stalker, but he's only trying to protect all of us here. After looking at what Leythos showed me, it's becoming hard to trust you. Leythos hasn't done anything wrong. Want proof that your program messed up my computer?

Before I ran your program, the only thing wrong with my computer was it couldn't connect to the internet.
After I ran your program, I get an "Invalid System Disk" error during the booting process and I get a message saying it can't find a file.

How did you fix it?

BECAUSE HE DOESN'T CARE!

Honestly. Did you look at his recent posts? THEY'RE ALL THE SAME.

"Try my ____ tool"
"My _______ can solve all of your problems. Download it now."
"Use my free ______."

Well if you did nothing then it sounds to me like Winsock corruption. Your
systems Winsock can be hijacked, enabling spyware to record everything you
do online or send information you think is going to one Web site to another
altogether. Any corruption in the Winsock 2 LSP will disable your internet
access. Possibly you have inadvertently installed some spyware that adds an
LSP of its own. Winsock 2 adheres to the Windows Open Service Architecture.
In effect, the WOSA architecture allows third-party service providers to be
plugged in without the need for application developers to rewrite their code
and without the need to replace the Winsock 2 DLL ws2_ 32.dll. The DLL
implementing an LSP is either loaded by another LSP or directly by
ws2_32.dll, depending upon its position in the protocol chain. If an LSP is
not at the top of the protocol chain, the LSP immediately above it in the
chain loads it; otherwise, it is loaded by ws2_ 32.dll. The fix of mine you
ran wipes out all of the 3rd party LSP's so they have to be reloaded by the
ws2_ 32.dll or the program itself. Legitimate anti-spyware applications like
Super AntiSpyware and others with real-time protection will reload their LPS
on reboot. Spyware that accesses the LSP's when the LSP is removed will
cause the problem you had for example the old new.net Trojan. The reason
your system is rebooted after running the fix is to complete the repair by
rebuilding files. It was bad malware that caused that issue and the Winsock
repair that fixed it.

I don't use the internet on my windows computer for anything except testing games I develop.

I'm going to propose a reason for this problem, but don't jump on it just to get yourself cleared. Before I ran your software and after the internet stopped working, I deleted one of the connections that was not in use. I thought maybe my computer was trying to connect to it even though it could not.
