"Most of the information I've found about this error indicates that it's a side-effect of some kind of malware (usually distributed along with "keygen" software which is most often used to steal copyrighted software) that your anti-virus or anti-spyware software has already removed. This is especially likely if the SOCKETX.OCX file is not present on your system at all. The malware's files have been deleted but its startup command is still in the registry, hence the error message when it tries to run. Using the Registry Editor (regedit.exe), look under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run for a value named "DSS". If it's there, delete it, restart your system, and see if you still get the error message."
