We recently had a message on our Dell laptop indicating that we had a Winsock error. My wife ran a program called Winsock XP Fix from PCWorld.com. The computer subsequently froze up and when rebooted, came up in Safe mode. I tried restarting and pressing F8 to get to the advanced startup screen, but it will not let me get out of safe mode. The icons anwindows also appear to have been enlarged for some reason as well.
