I was trying to change my bandwidth limit by running "GPedit.msc". (by editing the Group Policy).
I'm getting this error message:
Snap-in creation failed. The snap-in is not created. it may not be installed properly. Name: Group Policy CLSID: {8FC0B734-A0E1-11D1-A703-0000F87571E3}

Thank you for the suggestion, but it didn't work.
The file was missing from i386, but maybe there's more to it.

I found this. It worked.
MS Article #826282
To resolve this behavior, add the %SystemRoot%\System32\WBEM folder to your PATH environment variable. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2. On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables. 3. Under System Variables double-click the PATH environment variable. 4. Type: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM NOTE!! If other system variables appear, do not remove them. 5. Click OK, and then click OK.
Thanks again for helping out.
