RTB Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 So it's for WinXp Pro only. That eliminates any chance I could benefit from this Is there anything similiar to QoS in Win98? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 I am betting not. Windows 2000 pro doesnt have the QoS ability so i am guessing that windows 9x will not have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddog00 Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 The QoS internet protocol is in both Windows XP Pro & Home editions. The gpedit.msc command is only a valid command under the Pro version. It is not an available command in the Home edition. You should still be able to tweak the QoS in the Home edition but not by using the gpedit.msc command. I am not sure how but I am sure QoS is able to be tweaked through the registry if you know which directory tree to look in. If you have the Home edition go into your Network Connections and right click on your connection to get the connection config box to come up. If QoS is listed there highlight it and see if you can select properties. I cannot do this unless I reinstall QoS on my other machine which I obviously do not want to do!

I cna do in in the reg, but my guess it is won't do anything, or probably isn't even on or something. Plus I have no idea where to go for it and don't want to mess it up. Maybe I'lls earch around sometime. Ok, I see that the QoS service is enabled, or checked. I guess I will check it out tonight when I get bored.

Just go to the Network Connections Properties box where it was checked and make sure it is highllighted. Then all you gotta do is hit the "uninstall button" right below it.

ice Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 It's alright to uninstall totally? EDIT: Yeah, I guess it is. I'll do that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 Meh, it did nothing. Didn't think it would though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddog00 Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 Yes you can uninstall it completely by my procedure above. Just to give you and example the only Network Protocol I have listed in My Network Connections box is Tcp/Ip. You do not even really need Client for Microsoft Networks unless you are sharing files and printers on a in-house network and also very few ISP's require you to run it.
