Wi Fi Irritation

[Shao Feng-Li]

Last night I found a registry tweak that would let me use RAM more efficiently Seemed to be working pretty well. Other users commented on faster boot times.

So I gave it a shot and rebooted, only to find out I can't connect with my dell WLAN Mini card, or whatever they call it. Nor would connected via Cat5 cable work either. I tried uninstalling the cards, repairing, retyping the WEP key...

So this morning I did a system restore to last Sunday and everything is working fine. Can someone tell me what's wrong?

Perhaps you could give a link to an explanation of the tweak?
That might shed some light on it.

Reading the comments below the explanation, I see that many posters also site problems with the method (and sound a bit more believable than those who claimed it "just worked").
It does mention that you are loading drivers into RAM. This is probably the source of your problem, one respondent even mentions similar driver issues (with a video card).
Regardless, I don't think that this is a good idea unless you have a lot of RAM to burn.
If you're trying to increase performance, do some rigorous background process culling.
(just slap me if you've already done this)

VK is right. Cull the BG processes. You can also get better access times by deleting the program start cache thingy, but I've totally forgotten what that's called... Sorry!

I haven't done anything about culling... No idea what that is XD
