This error happens most often with TinyTERM 4.0x versions. It indicates a damaged install of either TinyTERM or Windows 95. There are two possible fixes.

1. On Windows 95, the Winsock2 update is missing. You can download that patch here. Save it to a temporary directory on your PC, then run it. Reboot when the patch install finishes.
2. If you have TinyTERM 4.04 or 4.05, the product itself needs to be patched. There are separate patches for TinyTERM 4.04 and TinyTERM 4.05. To use the patch, unzip it to a temporary directory. It will create new copies of the tt.exe and cencom.dll file. Locate the current copies of those files on your PC in C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM. Rename the originals as backups, then copy the new files into that same directory.Next, open a command prompt in Windows. Change directory at the prompt to C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM, then run the command
   

   regsvr32 cencom.dll

   Exit the command prompt and reboot your PC to finish installing the patch.

If you have a newer version of TinyTERM, the error indicates file corruption. To fix that, uninstall TinyTERM. Delete the Century directory from C:\Program Files. Then reboot the PC and reinstall TinyTERM.
