Missing Registry Key

I am trying to solve a problem in accordance with MSKB article 241344,
"Error message: The page cannot be displayed".

Although, using a dial-up connection, the computer concerned (using Windows
ME and IE6) will connect to the ISP, it will not open any Web pages
thereafter.

Step 13 in the article mentioned lists a number of Winsock2 registry keys
that are located in certain registry keys which are to be exported and then
deleted. I did not have one of them to export and delete in the first place:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VXD\Winsock.

Step 14 instructed one to remove and re-install TCP/IP to rebuild the
registry keys. I followed that step, but the above registry key was not
created.

I have been unable to find on the Web any information which would permit me
to construct the missing registry key.

Can anyone assist me as what should appear in the missing registry key?

Thanks in advance.

Download and run LSPFix from http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm which should
rebuild your winsock.
