Just clean-installed Win98SE. *Tried running game called Heretic II.
Game doesn't launch, instead a pop-up box appears which says "winsock

After installing Win98SE, I went to Device Manager and removed
something (can't remember exactly what it was) called "network
adaptor". *Could this be the problem?

I ran sfc, but that didn't help me out.

Any suggestions gratefully received. *Best regards, Robert.

Correction: I didn't remove "network adaptor" - rather, I think it
was called "dial-up adaptor". I got rid of it because a) I don't
think I have any dial-up adaptor and b) I don't want to connect to any
network or the internet.
