Also need help with cable speed

[Chris_Err]

I'm not sure that my registry is backed up. So I used the Default one on this site. Would that put me back to the normal settings?

[Lobo]

No, the only thing the one on this site will do is take out or settings, If you have put other setting's in, which seem to be the case according to your speed I would suggest you start over and come back here before you do anything. :confused:

[Chris_Err]

And that would be do a format of hard drive and reinsatll fresh would be my best bet ?

Only if the SG patches were used.

[Lobo]

Yes that would put everything back to default and you need to come here and backup registry first :)

[Chris_Err]

ok, U bet I will lesson learned. Can u guide me to where or how best way to do a format.I've done it before but was wondering best possible ways to do it. Should i remove v-card,sound ,nic card etc before i reinstall?

[Lobo]

No you don't remove anything, the best way is in your search box just type how to format
print the directions and your set :eek:

[Chris_Err]

OK thanks alot for the help gonna put a pot of coffee on get busy, again thank you

[Lobo]

OK, hope all goes well :cool:

I working with someone else right now so I will leave you all the instructions, from looking at your test resesults in have not installed our patch, I hope you have downloaded winzip, have you

[Chris_Err]

Hello, and yes winzip is downloaded, only patch is the webpage loading faster is all I have done so far

[Lobo]

It does not matter that you backed up registry before you formatted, it's gone you have to do it again, please slow down and follow directions, if you do not have winzip you must getit and install before you can download patchs, go to www.download.com (http://www.download.com) to get it Winzip 8.0
First bring up REGEDIT, type REGEDIT in your run box and hit OK.
Under Registry at the top of the box, click on that, now click on Export Registry File, a box will come up asking where you want to export it to, just put it in your C drive, then name it at the bottem of box, Registry.
Click on save.
Now if you ever get in trouble or want the old regestry back, bring REGEDIT back up and click on Registry and click on import registry file, go to your C drive and click on registry and click open, reboot and your good to go.
Anytime you add a new program, backup again, any program, back it up to the same place as the last one, it will overwrite it. If you do not backup after each new program is instaled you will not have those setting's in regestry if you have to backup for some reason.
1. You probaly need to PRINT these instructions!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to main page on Speedguide, go to patch page (Listed on left)
2. Download the faster loading of webpages for your OS, download the speedpatch for your OS, becarefull, there are alot of patches on this page.
3. Download the back to default patch for your OS, do not install this patch, just download it in case you ever want to change patches.
4. You may need 1 more patch if you are running WIN 95,98 or 98SE we will know after test.
5. Go to www.dslreports.com/tools (http://www.dslreports.com/tools) bookmark this page as you may wish to return. Run tweak tester, check the verbose box, turn off firewalls, if you have one, copy the results by highlighing everything in the box with your mouse, then hit Ctrl & c, with your key board, come back to Speedguide and in same post you were in reply, when box comes up , cursor blinking at start of box hit Ctrl & v, this will copy results in box so I may look at them.
7. I do not recommend adding any other patches, all these tests change by the minute so don't be fooled an start adding patch after patch.
8. The best time to test for speed is early in the morning when no one (or not many) people are on the net.
9. Nothing should be running during any test, no virus stuff, firewalls,
and always clear (Delete, no this will not harm your system) your temp internet files before each test, not once during testing, after each test.
10. Do not add other speed patches on top of each other, always go back to default before trying another patch, I am aware of only one patch that will remove previous patch without having to return to default.
11. In the future, here are some other sites you may wish to visit, go to www.testmyspeed.com. (http://www.testmyspeed.com.) Please bookmark that page as well as www.pcpitstop.com (http://www.pcpitstop.com) so you may return. Also another good dowload site would be www.happypuppy.com (http://www.happypuppy.com) click on 10 demos and a large download file, do not download the whole file, just most of it.
12. You may in the future wish to go to www.AnalogX.com (http://www.AnalogX.com) and download Net Stat Live, run this while downloading a large file.
13. Please take your time and good luck. I would suggest at least 128 RAM and read up on all this, but be care full.
14. The most accurate way of testing speed is downloading large file as explained above from somewhere like www.happypuppy.com (http://www.happypuppy.com) (not all of it, just most of it). All other speed test sites will vary.
When refering to speed Kb is Kilobits
KB is Kilobytes

:cool:

[Lobo]

Elvis has left, I'll be back early in morning or someone else may help you :eek:

[Lobo]

I'm not sure you reformated or just put on your OS on again, if by chance you just put OS on again you need to backup your registry again.
If you ever go back to the one you created before you put on new OS, you will be back in same boat you were in before. Backup your resistry to the same place as old one, it will overwrite it. :) :)

[Chris_Err]
