Question

I have a Dell Dimension XPS T700r, with Windows Millenium. While using any program in it I had receive two error messages:

"Could not bind socket!" and "Sync out of range" (this message appeared on a black bacground).

What could be the problem? How can I fix it?

Thanks...

Letty5,

I can't help with the first error, but the second indicates that your display settings (probably the refresh rate) are set to some value which your graphics adapter does not support.

Check the documentation for your graphics adapter and then right-click an empty part of your desktop and select Properties. On the Settings tab click the Advanced button. When the next window opens, on the Adapter tab change the refresh rate to one which is supported (possibly "Optimal").

On your first problem, the closest thing I could find was "cannot get bind socket". If this is your error, there is a known problem with networked multiplayer centipeede games.

If this is when you have the problem, check with hasbro for a patch.
