I did some tweaking of my connection with some programs, then I deleted the programs. Now my computer can't download files. It will start downloading them and stop in the middle for minutes at a time, before resuming. I have a cable connection that is pretty static, so this doesn't make any sense to me. Does anybody know how to either reset the tweaked values or where i can find a tweaking program that actually works?

the thing about tweaking progs is you can delete them but they already edited your registry.you should find an undo app. from wherever you got them. if you can't find that you can edit the registry yourself,but its horribly complex to explain in a post, not that the process in itself is hard, its just hard to explain. depending on how many times you booted your box, you could try scanreg. to do this you need to boot to dos from a startup disk, at the A> type scanreg, select the restore option. scanreg will restore a previous registry, but it depends on when it was backed up. I do have some url's related to this, but their on my other box which wont ^%$#in boot. you could reinstall windows,he he.

I have three things that should fix your problem: 1. Have you tried the restore function in Me? 2. Try reinstalling the program you used to edit your registry in the first place and set it back to the way it was. 3. install windows Me over inself. This may reset your internet settings. Hope on of these helps. Also a program out there that tweaks reasonably well is "Tweak Me". If you find this prog, set the internet connection back to its defaults and reboot, everything should be Ok after that. Good luck...
