Fix Problems With Copying Large Files in Windows Vista

If you've been having problems copying large files over mapped drives, network disconnects, or having to reboot your router a lot more often than normal, then you can try out this fix to solve the problem.

The problem stems from the new auto-tuning network, which changes the receive window on the fly. Thankfully we can easily turn it off from an administrative mode command prompt.

Open Administrative Mode Command Prompt

Either type cmd into the start menu and use Ctrl+Shift+Enter or right-click the Command Prompt shortcut and choose Run as Administrator.

Turn Off Auto-Tuning

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

You'll have to reboot your system, but once you do, the problems should be resolved. If they are not you can always turn auto-tuning back on.


Turn On Auto-Tuning

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

I would like to recommend to everyone.
Orbasoft Antispyware is an excellent scanner that I would like to recommend to everyone. I simply love it. In the past I have tried many different types of scans. Some of them were free and others cost quite a bit of money but they all seem to pick up the same types of bugs. The antispyware solution from Orbasoft is less expensive than most and it will clean your computer and keep it working great just like the more costly scanners.
