I also get error 0x8100301 AND I know why.
I used Spybot to search my P.C. as I do all the time. Having not realised I had installed SPYWARE with MSN Messenger Plus! 3 (believing the agree statement was a EULA) I removed the spyware from my P.C.
However, if you remove the spyware with an automated tool (Spybot, Adaware etc...) it damages Winsock BEYOND REPAIR.
