[BleedDodgerBlue]

kma, please help if you can

for the last month or two, i constantly get windows firewall disability notifications whenever i run spybot which i do daily. i fix them everyday and nothing is wrong with my computer, just curious why i keep getting a notification from spybot about this.

thanks in advance

The following are the contents of my own tweak file, which includes all the TCP parameters to achieve full compliance with RFC 1323, and make the best use of it, as well as 879, 2018 and a few others.

Section 1 - TCP parameters will set a lower default for TimeTo Live, higher receive window buffers, Selective Acknowledgements turned on, and only allow for blackhole discovery but not its detection.
Section 2 - make available more layer 4 sessions for Internet Explorer so it will not lock up
Section 3 - DLL Cache - define upper limit of 256 MB so it will not eat up large portions of disk, as well as to avoid tothe extent possible duplication
Section 4 - DNS Cache - better, more efficient handling
Section 5 - I do not trust Micro$oft to keep my time. I'd rather go to the US Navy's Atomic clock directly through NIST in Gaithersburg, MD.,
Section 6 - the Windows Antivirus, firewall notification and nagware. My systems were secure from virii and intrusions even before Micro$oft thought about these issues. I like my own solutions better than what Micro$oft has made available with their unreasonable default settings.

As always, backup your registry before making any changes to it. these settings may not hold for every system, but by and large, they will optimize performance on most. There is no compulsion to use this information.

I did leave out a copule of settings which I use, those pertain to the Micro$oft Office tuneup feature, which I believe Micro$oft is no longer pushing to the systems which the software is installed on. If yah think installing Office or any of its components has slowed your system down, let me know, and I will be happy to show how to turn off the Office TuneUP thing which is a pain and consumes more resources than it frees. As usual, the person who designed it is no longer employed at Micro$oft.

I forgot to tell yah how to use it!!! Sorry!!!


Starting from the line:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Copy everything below that line till the one that has: UpdatedDisableNotify

Paste it into a text file, and save the file with extension .reg something like regupdate.reg

Backup your registry, and then double click on this file yah just now created. Confirm to update the registry, and reboot the system.

BDB, you understand now?

[BleedDodgerBlue]

KMA, thanks for the help, but i encountered a problem. i set a system restore and backed everything up after i made the .reg file with what you told me to copy and paste. but when i confirm yes after double clicking it, i get a prompt saying:

The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor.

any suggestions if you have time?

If yah used wordpad to create the file, it may not work. I use Notepad and create a flat text file, pure ASCII. Works all the time.

Another thing is this is not going to work if you did the File -> import from within the editor.

Just doubleclick on the file from windows explorer, reg is associated with the registry editor.

 

[KMA]

I just tried it. Copied and pasted the test from above into a file in Notepad, and did a file -> save as

And changed the "save as type" from .txt to all files, and changed the name to regtest.reg and saved it.

When I doubleclicked the file, my registry get updated.

 

[KMA]

Post again if yah can't get it to work for yah and I'll somehow get the .zip file to yah, it WILL work!!! I'll log in again on Saturday.

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

KMA still didn't work, but i appreciate the effort.

i saved the copied text in notebook and created a desktop of it and it said what i said in other post.

didn't work.

BUT, i then tried to open the registry editor and I was gonna drag the new .reg file you gave me into it and it says

Confirm Restore Key
the key will be restored on top of key: My Computer. All value entries and subkey of this key will be deleted. Dou you want to continue the operation?

I'm scared to press yes......not sure if that's the right thing to do.


thanks again, and if i wasn't married....................

 

[KMA]

Did yah get it fixed??? I can send yah the file if yah want.


AND if yah weren't already married, you'd be able to take some classes, become a geek and troubleshoot your computer!!!

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

KMA, no never got it working.

if you wouldn't mind sending it to my email address jack has. i don't think we are allowed to post email addresses here. or if you don't mind, just send it to jack and he can forward it on to me. i'm sure the big guy isn't THAT busy.

only if you got some spare time. don't want to put you out. also, could you tell me what to do with the file when i receive it.

thanks again for all you do at this site. as for becoming a geek, i'm sure i'm well on my way there

thanks again.
