Help with SpeedTweak Patch

[slain]

Maybe someone here can help me-
I downloaded the SpeedTweak registry patch, which is an .inf file. I know that to install this I need to right-click the file and click 'Install'. When I do this a window comes up saying that there is no association for installing .inf files. Windows doesn't know what application to use to perform the install task. I looked at the file association for .inf files (called 'setup information' in the file type list, under tools> folder options> file types in Windows Explorer) and there is nothing associated with the 'install' action - the 'Application used to perform action' field is blank. I'm running win98se. If someone out there could tell me what application is listed on their machine for performing the 'install action' I'd really appreciate it. Thx!!

I'm running windows ME but here's what I have for .inf files under settings-control panel-folder options-file types-highlight .INF files and click Advanced- this is where we might be different, I have a listing for Install but if you don't add new and put this in and see if it works

Action: &Install
Application used to perform action: C:\WINDOWS\rundll.exe setupx.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %1

Hope that helped

You unzip file first then go to where you unzipped it to, RIGHT click on it, up to install or merge, click, and REBOOT:)

I plugged that in for the association and I don't get an error installing now, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything.

TCP options string = 020405b401010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which is equal to MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 65535
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 65535
Note: Under Windows 9x, if you have RWIN set to any other value, and the Analyzer reports 65535 you might need to install the MS Vtcp386 fix.
For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1048.56 kbps (131.07 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 49 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

I'll try doing it manually I geuss. :(
Thanks alot for the help, it was worth a shot!

Go to Speedguides tweaks here-below in my signature. Once on patch page you need Vtcp386 Fix
patch for your OS (Make sure you get right one) Download and install, reboot, and retest and do this please so I can make sure patch is in:
At top where it says edit click and select, Select all,
Then go back to same edit button at top, click and select copy.
Come back to Speedguide, same thread you were on, in post reply box, with cursor blinking at begining of box go to top, edit, click, select paste, click, this will put information in box. Thank you.:)

14967 connections tested since 03.10.2001.

That's what I get now. I didn't have the patch
:eek:
Now my speeds (according to DSL reports test) are 1910 down and 329 up, was getting around 1100 down before. Does this seem good for my rr connection, or are there other things I should change? Thanks so much for the help!!

Try changing RWIN (Tcp Default Window with this tool to 531440, 554800 or 560640

Download to desktop DRTCP019.exe, you may change alot of settings with this, first select your adapter, after changing anything play with it until apply button lites up, then click on it. Then REBOOT for it to work.
