When I type ‘ netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=enabled’ in the command prompt and enter it, I get a “The parameter is incorrect” message. Please help. Thanks.

Hi, you need admin rights. Right click the Command Prompt icon and select Run as Administrator. After that follow the instruction above!

I got this when trying to enter the commands. “Set global command failed on IPv4 The requested operation requires elevation.” Can you help me.

Hi Jessica, The best way to speed up a Windows OS is to uninstall junk from it. Go to the section where you can uninstall programs and Windows features and uninstall the ones which are useless to you. Another way is to empty your Internet cache and those files left by old programs. A good application for this is ccleaner Also, visit my freeware section (www.webtlk.com/tag/freeware/) and look for utilities to speed up your PC. By the way, a good trick to make your machine faster is to turn off Windows Aero theme and defrag (again, visit the freeware section) your Windows regularly. Cheers

Jorge and Edward-you need full admin rights in your command prompt window. When you open command prompt window, rt. click on it and select open as administrator. You should be fine from there.

I had the same result as William Southall : “set global command failed on IPv4. The requested operation requires elevation”…
Could you please give me a hand with this …. I really don’t understand what it means.
Thanks.

Exactly, William. If you have a dial-up connection, this trick won’t turn it to a DSL connection!
