Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me out with this error that i keep getting every time I switch on my computer.The error message is: "Failed to load control SocketXCtl from Socketx.OCX. Your version of SocketX.OCX may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application." I have no idea what this means and would be grateful to anyone who could help me understand how to get rid of this message.I am not sure whether I am posting in the correct forum, so please, if I am not, let me know and I would really appreciate someone telling me where I should post. Thanks a lot. Karina
