Welcome to speedguide
What OS (Operating System) are you running if its Windoh's 98 or 98SE you will need the Vtcp.386 to start.
The speedguide patch for your OS
the Speedguide webpatch for your OS
another read from the tweak test after its installed...
Make sure you backup the registry before you install I havent seen bad things from the patchs but its alway a good Idea...
More on backing up the registry can be found in the help of your OS.. Plus if you need to get alternative to backing it up. Just do a search in a couple of these forums..

the search works good here.
Dont forget to copy and paste the new tweak settings after there done...
One last thing whats your typical download before you tweak and what is it after.

i have already installed sguide_tweak_98_ME and i also have the speed guide web patch. So the results i posted are after the patches were installed.

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Wed Mar 28, 2001 7:22 am

The patch is not installed sir, go to where you unzipped file to RIGHT click on it on up to install or merge, click, reboot, retest, and repost here, thank you

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Wed Mar 28, 2001 8:32 am

Here I'll leave you some guidelines:
1. You probaly need to PRINT these instructions!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alot of people are downloading and unzipping speed patch, see directions for installation, if it is not installed, it no workie.
Go to main page on Speedguide, go to patch page (Listed on left)
2. Download the faster loading of webpages for your OS, download the speedpatch for your OS, becarefull, there are alot of patches on this page. Please read installation instructions for these patchs on patch page.Please read how to install speed patch.
3. Download the back to default patch for your OS, do not install this patch, just download it in case you ever want to change patches.Please read instructions on patch on how to install speed patch.
4. Download Vtcp386 Fix patch if you are running WIN 98 or 98SE and install (Big V). Additionally, if your OS is Win 95, you will also need to download and install the vtcp386 .zip and the Windows Socket Two patch.
5.After you have installed speed patch go to http://forums.speedguide.net/optd.shtml bookmark this page as you may wish to return. Run test, check check connection,X out your IP address turn off firewalls, if you have one, copy the results by highlighing everything in the box with your mouse, then hit Ctrl & c, with your key board, come back to Speedguide and in same post you were in reply, when box comes up , cursor blinking at start of box hit Ctrl & v, this will copy results in box so I may look at them.
7. I do not recommend adding any other patches, all these tests change by the minute so don't be fooled an start adding patch after patch.
8. The best time to test for speed is early in the morning when no one (or not many) people are on the net.
9. Nothing should be running during any test, no virus stuff, firewalls,
and always clear (Delete, no this will not harm your system) your temp internet files before each test, not once during testing, after each test.
10. Do not add other speed patches on top of each other, always go back to default before trying another patch, I am aware of only one patch that will remove previous patch without having to return to default.
11. In the future, here are some other sites you may wish to visit, go to www.testmyspeed.com. Please bookmark that page as well as www.pcpitstop.com so you may return. Also another good dowload site would be www.happypuppy.com click on 10 demos and a large download file, do not download the whole file, just most of it.
12. You may in the future wish to go to www.AnalogX.com and download Net Stat Live, run this while downloading a large file.
13. Please take your time and good luck. I would suggest at least 128 RAM and read up on all this, but be care full.
14. The most accurate way of testing speed is downloading large file as explained above from somewhere like www.happypuppy.com (not all of it, just most of it). All other speed test sites will vary, www.AOL.com is another fast server, you may download from this site also, remember to delete temp internet files before doing test. Try both sites as 1 may be having problems.
When refering to speed Kb is Kilobits, KB is Kilobytes Divide by 8 kilobits to get kilobytes.
Also you may wish to download Dr.TCP from www.dslreports.com to adjust MSS, MTU. RWIN and other numbers in future, this is for advanced people and I do not recommend changing any numbers that patches put in.
(NOTE) The back to default patch does not take whole registry back to default, it just takes out the settings that Speedguides patches put in.
(Note a present time www.AOL.com seems to be fastest download site, at bottom, click on download aol 6.0)

RUN DEFRAG AT LEAST EVERY 2 DAYS
If you are running WIN 98 or SE, once a week run Sys file checker to make sure you have all your files, all you really need to worry about are Windows files and subfolders. Run, help for more information
DO NOT EXPECT TO BE FAST AT NIGHT(PEEK HOURS)

CHECK BACK EVERY SO OFTEN FOR UPDATES
To get rid of @home proxy server do this
Start, Run, and type: regsvr32 -u ahiehelp.dll
This will disable proxy server.
In control panel, internet options, connecions, LAN settings,
take check mark out of ALL boxes (yes auto detect too)
Reboot
How do do speed test
1. The best time is early in the morning (3 AM - 6 AM)
2. Make sure defrag has been run so no files are fragmented
3. Delete Temp internet files, not while testing, but after each test. IE browser, click tools, internet options, click on delete files and no this will not harm system, just get rid of temp files
4. Go to a fast server such as www.happypuppy.com and click on 10 demos, select a LARGE file to download (not all of it , just most of it, before you click cancel) this will show you how fast you are downloading, it's not going to be quick except except early in morning when not many people on net. I recommend you go to www.analogX.com and download Net State live, run this while downloading as it will give you avg of your download speed, really all you need on Net Stat is incoming data, incoming totals and Local machine, right click on Net Stat anywhere, stactics and check these 3 items, the rest need not be checked unless you want them, all you care about is average.
Put system defrag in scheduled tasks to run everyday.
5. Probably the most important, nothing can be running during test, no firewalls, no virus stuff, no ICQ, no AIM (some of you may have to go into BIOS to disable virus scanner, nothing running except Net Stat live
Scheduled tasks will run disk defrag, 98 & SE in Taskbar, WIN ME in control panel
The people who want speed surfing or doing whatever must close all other programs.
(NOTE: at present time www.AOL.com seems to be fastest download site, at bottom download aol 6.0)
Or if you wish you may go to www.testmyspeed.com and do one of the online tests, these vary to much for me but you may like them. Another one is at www.dslreports.com/tools

You need to reboot after applying the patch for it to take effect.

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Wed Mar 28, 2001 6:24 pm

OK, we are going to have to do something else, patch is still not in, Do this:
First go to www.cablenut.com , click on software at top of page You need 4.0, 4xx to 4.02
Download 4.0 (Only users of WIN 95 and WIN ME need 4xx to 4.02 too along with 4.0 )
His patch will uninstall previous patchs
Install 4.0 (If running WIN 95 or WIN ME Install 4xx to 4.02 too)
(NOTE) If you are running WIN 98 or SE, you need to download and install Vtcp386 for patch for 4.0 to work.
Then on desktop click on cablenut 4.0
Click on ccs files
then click on cable
Select either normal cable or fast cable (See instructions)
this will enter settings
click on save to registry at bottom, reboot or it will not work.

If you decide to remove Cablenut's patch, use uninstaller in Cablenut 4.0 folder on desktop. This will take you back to Windows default.
Retest and repost so I can see if patch is in Copy all this by highlighting everything in box with mouse
(you may have to make box smaller. To copy contents of box, highlight, then hit Ctrl & c, on your keyboard, when you return to Speedguide in reply box, with cursor blinking, hit Ctrl & v, this will copy contents in box so I may look at it. Thank you.
Click on Cablenut 4.0 on desktop, RIGHT click on adjuster and select short cut to desktop, the same with Reboot.

CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES
Would not be bad idea to bookmark this page so you can return for updates or reading.
