"freeaddrinfo could not be located." Help!

eggypie · 05-12-2007

hey guys
I just uninstalled a free version of mcafee and I now keep getting this message: "The procedure entry point freeaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll". It pops up all the time and is really annoying. Does anyone know how to stop it?

This is the microsoft support page for the bug but i don't understand it!

Hi eggypie, welcome to the PCHF.
First off...please don't double post

I've merged your threads.
Second...the fix from microsoft is for the programmers...it's C++ coding, which I'm not surprised you don't understand - not alot of people do these days.

Unfortunately that kind of problem is specific to McAfee. Might be worth an attempt at contacting them about it.
