ATI Catalyst & Registry Error

[shortbus]

I was on the page discussing registry tweaks, and earlier scratching my head over the install of drivers.

Is there an example of extracting the ATI Catalyst driver? There's so many subfolders, you have to start deleting files because they have the same name.

Also, for the registry tweaks, I was adding my own, which is simple for dwords, but when a string came along I went to look for an example. This is a cut n paste from the page on registry tweaks;

;Speed up shutdown

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]

"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="3000"

That key is present in both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Maybe it varies, but on mine the key is named 'WaitToKillAppTimeout'.

Also, I recall reading that the value of that key should be larger than the value for 'HungAppTimeout' in the same folder. Anybody know about that?

WaitToKillServiceTimeout is for services.

This is for applications:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"WaitToKillAppTimeout"="20000"

My bad,

Thanks for making me read the entire path, not just the bits I like.

While on the subject of the registry, I am wanting to put in a tweak for the TCP receive window, and have seen two conflicting values.

This first one is from; http://cable-dsl.home.att.net/#IncreasingWindow

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]

"GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize"=dword:00007fff

This creates a decimal value of 32767

The second, and different version;

http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=157

HKLM/SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize="256960"

This creates a hex value of 0003ebc0

anyone got an idea what is preferred?

(I'm cable with an MTU of 1500)
