KB935458 - The behavior of TCP acknowledgments (ACKs) does not change after you modify the TcpAckFrequency registry entry in Windows Vista

Just registered here in order to download the 32-bit Vista hotfix for TCP ACK frequency which I found out about while researching a solution to heavy lag while playing World of Warcraft. I was able to download the file ok; but the Update Installer gives me a message saying that this file is not applicable to my system. I have Vista Home Premium with all of the latest updates save for SP1. Prior to finding out about this hotfix I did several things in order to combat the heavy lag I've been experiencing since the latest game patch. Some of which were to flush the DNS cache, renew my IP address, reset my modem, downloaded and installed updated drivers for my NIC (which is an Intel PRO 1000), set speed/duplex setting to 100 Mbps Full Duplex (it was set to Auto Negotiation and I couldn't connect to the internet with it set to 1000 Mbps :\), neither could I disable Checksum Offload for the same reason, unchecked the box for allowing the comp to be turned off to save power, disabled the background downloader, tried running the game with my software firewall (Comodo Pro) configured to allow WoW access and with the firewall disabled, tried disabling my A/V prog as well so that no extraneous progs were running - even turned off the QuickTime applet to no avail. I'm not behind a router.

I ran a tracert which had the first 9 tries going though without a hitch, small hiccup on the tenth try; but it went through for the most part, 11 through 14 went through fine although with added latency, and the last 15 tries all failed. Does this indicate a problem with my ISP or is my ISP blameless due to the first 14 going through? As a side note on my ISP, I have never seen even half of the download/upload speeds advertised in the package I was paying for; so just recently downgraded the package. I've never seen speeds approaching this one's advertised values either, but at least I never get disconnected from the internet or experience heavy lag while web surfing. It's only in WoW that I've experienced these things and only for the past 10 days or so - right around the time of the latest game patch.

Any help anyone can provide would be most appreciated.

I'm in the same boat

If the issue arose after applying the game patch then it must be the game patch that is causing the issue, no?

Usually when a hotfix refuses to install it`s because newer files already exist, if they do you should already have the fix applied to your system.

Hello, about the wow game issue, I came here for the same reason, it appears that many users have started experiencing very high latencies in the last week or so, and blizzard seem to be looking into it.

i´ve a question ....... i use windows vista 32 bit os ....... try to install this hotfix but get an error message ...."update is not for this system" ..... what can i do .......

hope for fast answers

[xable]

That message is not very helpfull ....... is it!

It`s believed to mean you have a newer fix already installed, hotfix`s won`t replace newer files with older one`s so you get that message. Another possibility is that the hotfix applies to specific versions of vista, so you have to request the hotfix for your version of vista.

Oh and you are trying to installing it on a x86 OS as it`s a 32-bit hotfix?
