A good one - thanks.

[Anyone find RWIN settings in the reg?]

I agree with you - it is difficult to find a reliable

way to benchmark the tweaks unless you are willing to

follow everything Lobo says. As long as mine show up as

100 times faster than a 56K modem (give or take a few points)

I am happy.

Glad it worked out - how do you do at www.dslreports.com for speed?

One- you might want to check out what Lobo says here:

Two- Are you referring to the RWIN? A lot of the tweaks depend on your CPU and connection - here is one, I have used for cable and a fast CPU.

[Anyone know how to edit startup screen]

Try right clicking on My Computer/Properties/Advanced/StartUP and Recovery Settings - then click on the Edit button - and you have the Boot.ini file. I would make a backup of it in case somehing goes wrong.

Or you could just open boot.ini (hidden file) with notepad.exe

[re: shutdown problems or re-install]

Is your machine overclocked ? If so, do you have the problem when it isn't OC'ed?

Not sure what to suggest -

1 perhaps look at the advanced properties for your NIC's

2 remove everything related to the NIC's and start again

3 my favorite - start to reinstall XP and select the repair option

What exactly do you mean by ALL the protocols loaded/installed?
