CAUSE
This problem occurs when the WinCim installation program detects that you
are using the Windows NT Winsock support. The following message appears
when you install the Windows NT Winsock software:
Windows NT does not allow the CompuServe Dialer to be used
in place of its native Winsock support.
By default, the CompuServe Dialer Winsock is enabled when you start WinCim.
This does not allow Windows NT to use its native Winsock service.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, disable the WinCim Winsock support. In WinCim,
select Session Settings from the the Special menu in WinCim. Select Option
and clear the Use Winsock check box.
