Vista Ultimate Downloading issue - NS4Sale

Arena Rodent · 01-18-2008, 11:28 PM

I installed Vista Ultimate last night and everything is running fine...

EXCEPT.

whenever i download a file or try to stream music from radio station it starts and runs fine but then at random points just stops dead. it gives no error just stops transfering the file. I have to cancel and try again and it'll just stall at a different point.

any ideas?

have you installed all the latest updates? You may try a line quality test to see if its's droping packets?

You may try disableing TCP/IP Auto Tuning in Vista

Note: To get elevated command prompt (admin priviledges), you may need to do the following:
- Click the Start button
- In the Search box, type: Command Prompt
- Right-click on the Command Prompt icon and select "Run as administrator"

To disable TCP/IP Autotunning, in Elevated Command Prompt type:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled

To check that it is dsabled:

netsh interface tcp show global

To set back to the default Windows Vista behavior:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuningl=normal

^^ what he said.

get a pre-release SP1 build.. that might fix ya up ( or cause other unwanted issues )

I dont really think that Auto Tuning will make a difference but who knows. Also are you runing a wireless conection or wired to the router?

its working now. it turns out i had bigger issues. When i tried to open security center it would crash out my windll32.exe program, when id open control panel explorer would crash. did 2 more reinstalls, figured out it was my SAM4 Broadcasting software doing it so I had to do some fucking around to get that installed and its all up and working great now
