How Can I Reinstall QoS on XP?

QoS Packet Scheduler is a traffic-shaping service for Windows.

QoS Packet Scheduler is a traffic-shaping service in Windows. When a network utilizes QoS, it gives the network administrator the ability to prioritize certain types of network traffic above others to guarantee that the most sensitive applications continue to work properly during times of high traffic. Reinstall the QoS Packet Scheduler on a Windows XP machine for which you suspect traffic shaping is not functioning properly.

Instructions

1. Click the "Start" button and "Network Connections." Alternatively, double-click the "Network Connections" icon on the Control Panel.

2. Right-click the network connection for which you would like to reinstall the QoS Packet Scheduler, and click "Properties."

3. Click "QoS Packet Scheduler" and click the "Uninstall" button. Click "Yes" to confirm.

4. Click the "Install" button.

5. Click "Service," then click the "Add" button.

6. Click "QoS Packet Scheduler," then click "OK."

7. Click the "Close" button to resume using your computer.
