winsock provider catalog error

Hi,

I am just a casual user with no major technical knowledge. I use
Firefox 1.5x. Lately my browser has been failing to load pages
correctly. Sometimes I click on a link and a blank page is loaded
(totally blank, no error links) and the status message at the bottom
says done. Well, I downloaded the new internet explorer and when ie
loads a blank page, I am given an option to "dianose network problems.
I did this and what ie comes up with is that my "winsock provider
catalog needs to be reset to default configuration." So I do this,
reboot, and then all is fixed until I browse for a little while. Once
again, same thing happens. I was wondering if any of you are familiar
with this problem and if so, would you have any suggestion? Any help
much-appeciated,
