This is a new error message for me. What version of the BOINC client are you using? Is it 4.19?

Failed to cleanup the Windows Socket Interface

I have also seen this error once on a machine where I installed the client as a different user than I then tried to run it. Might be a problem with access right, too, tough unlikely on XP (Home at least).
