Internet very slow with Vista, Solution !!!

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 26 Aug 2007 in MS Windows | 0 comments

It drove me nuts !!…………. VISTA !!!!!!! om My Dell Dimension 9200

Problems, errors, crashes …. but most of all … very slow internet connection. (with timeouts and connection errors)

The strange thing was…. it was on all my pc’s… even pc’s with Ubuntu or Windows XP installed.

When I shut down the Vista PC…. internet was very fast on all other machines !

In the meanwhile, I could install Vista with my eyes wide shut (know the movie  ) . I did it so many times ….  ….. instaling Vista I mean… but without any success.

I though it was some third party software which made my internet slow. 

Now I have got dual boot…. Ubuntu and Vista…. surfing the net with Ubuntu….. the rest… Vista.

But why…. why is this problem bothering me…. I could not stop thinking about it.

On many sites …. there al different sollutions .

Like :

• Stop the  Qos service
• Stop the ipv6 functionality
• Stop the  phlishing filter
• Uninstall Mcaffee
• Do a  “netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled” in a CMDbox 

Wanna read more about this ? ?? Here, here and here. 

It did not help any shit !

Then…. I found a posting on a forum about a guy who had uninstalled a Windows Vista patch (KB929735) and after this uninstallment… his internet was up and running again …

No… would this be……… Nope…. it did not help.

But then … I found the following posting following posting

I have 1 desktop and 2 laptops which are all suddenly working slowly after downloading windows pdates after I returned from holiday. The PC and 1 laptop is running XP and 1 laptop is running Vista. I would appreciate help on the dektop initially. Thanks.

And then I saw the light…… I found the solution !!!!!

It always looked like Internet was fast after a fresh install of Vista !… But after a few restarts it got slower and slower …..

So… I uninstalled all Microsoft Vista patches….. stoped the automatic updater, and refused the connection to the windows updates server

And……… after one restart…… internet is super fast again !

No more updates for some time for me !
