If the error cannot be fixed, you will be provided with additional resources describing how best to proceed.

1. Launch your Web browser. Navigate to the download location for the replacement version of ws2_32.dll (see Resources for link to download).
2. Click the download link and follow the on-screen prompts to save the file to your computer. Wait until the download finishes.

4. Right-click the 'Start' button in Windows and select 'Explorer.' In the Windows Explorer window, navigate the left-side panel to find the Windows system folder. If you're using the original 32-bit version of either Windows XP or Vista, this folder can be found at 'C:\Windows\System32.' In the newer 64-bit versions of these operating systems, the system folder is at 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64.' If you have an older system, look for 'C:\WINNT\System32' in Windows 2000 and NT and 'C:\Windows\System' in Windows 95, 98 and ME. Left-click the system folder once to reveal its contents in the right side panel.
5. Drag the ws2_32.dll file that you extracted in step three from the desktop to the right panel of Windows Explorer. When you drop the file into the system folder, you might see a Windows prompt asking you if you would like to replace the existing file of the same name. If you see this message, click 'Yes.' This will replace the old version, which may be corrupted, with the new working version. If you're not asked about this, that means that the file was missing.
6. Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.

1. Click on the Windows Start button. In Windows XP, click on 'Run,' then type 'cmd' and click the 'Go' button. This will bring up the DOS command window. Vista and Windows 7 users click on Windows Start, then 'All Programs' followed by 'Accessories' and 'Command Prompt.'
2. Type 'regsvr32 vbscript.dll' and press the 'Enter' key.

3. You should now see the message 'DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded.' If this message appears, the required files for the installer have been successfully registered and you should be able to install your programs.
4. Click on the installer file for your application and see if the error appears again. If the installation begins, the files are now properly registered. Repeat the process one more time if the installation still gives the 'Error 2753' message.

1. Determine what Windows operating system is running on your computer. There are several operating systems available from Windows, including the 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP Home, XP Professional and Vista platforms.
2. Visit the Internet site for the Windows error code look-up download for your operating system. See the Resources section for more information.

3. Download the error code look-up software from the Microsoft website. Click on the 'Download' button to begin the download. Then choose 'Run' from the download dialogue box once the download is complete. If you want to install the application at a later date, you can choose 'Save' from the dialogue box and double click on the saved executable when you want to install the software.
4. Open the error code look-up software to begin to decipher the Windows error messages. From your Windows desktop, go to the button marked 'Start.' Open this menu and go to the key that says either 'Programs' or 'All Programs,' depending on what version of Windows your computer uses. After your program menu is open, click on 'ERR.'
5. Type the error code in the text box of the error code look-up software. Then click 'OK' to view the deciphered windows error message.

1. Check the index.html file in the server's web directory. If a client requests a page from a website hosted on the server, the index.html file for that site needs to be present or a 404 error will result. Multiple websites can be hosted on an Apache server and each need their own index.html file. If the index.html file is not present for the requested website, reload the index.html from a backup or rebuild the file. Attempt to access the resource again. If the page displays, the issue is resolved. If the page doesn't display, proceed to Step 2.
2. Verify the requested resource. Within the website's directory exists all the pages available for viewing. Verify that the specific page requested is present in the directory with the correct name. If the specific page does not exist, reload the page file to the web directory from a backup or rebuild the page. If the file exists, but is misnamed, rename the file to the correct name. Attempt to access the resource. If the page can be displayed, the issue is resolved. If the page still doesn't display proceed to Step 3.

3. Check the server root settings. The server root is the top level directory, which holds the server's log, configuration and error files. If the server root setting is varied from the standard, the server may not be able to find the requested files. For example, if the server root setting is set to '/var/www' a correction will need to be made to the configuration file so that the server can find the requested data. To resolve this issue, access the server's configuration file and add the line 'Document root '/var/www'' above the lines that read 'User www-data' and 'Group www-data.' Attempt to access the page again. If the page displays, the issue is resolved. If the page doesn't display, proceed to Step 4.
4. View the server's error log file. The error log file is where the Apache server will log any errors it encounters. The error log is located in the server root directory and can be accessed by typing into the terminal 'logs/yourwebsite.error' where 'yourwebsite' is the site's name. Examine all the errors to determine a common characteristic or variable that is causing the server to report 404 errors.

1. Go to 'Start' and right-click on 'My Computer.' Navigate to the 'Advanced' tab, then click the 'Settings' option.
2. Click on the 'Advanced' tab once more under 'Performance Options' and then click on the 'Change' tab under 'Virtual Memory.'

4. Reboot your laptop or desktop to complete the process.

1. Check your internet connection, and be sure that you can access the internet on another page. Server errors will show up if you are not connected to the internet.
2. Reload the page to clear a server error. Sometimes the server errors are simply a result of a page that has loaded poorly.

3. Close the browser window and open up another one to access the same page. It could be that your page was not loading correctly.
4. Delete your temporary internet files and clear your cache. This should clear any server errors that remain.

1. Go to the Microsoft Download Center and download the .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (see Resources).
2. Save the file and double-click on it when it completes the downloading process. Follow any instructions on the screen to install it.

1. Double-check your Internet connection cables. Error 380 occurs when your GameGuard software is unable to download updates. If a network cable is unplugged, you cannot get online, and the error will persist.
2. Click the 'Start' button.

3. Click 'Control Panel.'
4. Click 'System and Security.'
5. Click on 'Windows Firewall' to open your Firewall. According to Microsoft, your computer's Firewall scans incoming Internet data for potential threats. If a possible threat is found, the program is blocked from connecting the Internet. Unfortunately, this security measure can sometimes mistakenly block nonthreatening programs, like GameGuard, causing Error 380 to appear.
6. Click 'Turn Windows Firewall on or off.' This button is sometimes hard to spot, because it is tucked away on the far left-hand side of the screen.
7. Click to select 'Turn off Windows Firewall' under both the public and private network headings.
8. Click 'OK.'
9. Start GameGuard. The Firewall will no longer block GameGuard, and the program should update and run without an Error 380 message. Once GameGuard has updated, you can return to the Windows Firewall menu and turn the Firewall back on for better online protection. With GameGuard properly updated, Error 380 will not reoccur unless GameGuard releases a new patch that requires further updating. If a new patch is released for download, repeat these steps to update and remove Error 380 again.
