Vista RTM + Windows Live Messenger - ERROR 81000306

hi guys.. i have the same problem error 81000306.
when i run command prompt and type in: netsh int tcp set global
autotuninglevel=disabled it says 'set global command failed on IPv4 The
requested operation requires elevation'. what does that mean? my
autotuninglevel is now normal. is there any other way to disable it?
fyi: im running on windows vista and using a linksys wag2000 router.
thx all! :smile:

"Requires Elevation" means you need to open the command prompt as an
administrator to perform the command.

To do this, click "Start", type "command" in the quick search box (or look
through "All Programs" for "Command Prompt"), right-click the "Command
Prompt" item that appears in the search results area and select "Run as an
administrator". Click "Continue" on the UAC prompt that comes up and then
the command prompt will open with full administrator rights. This will allow
you to perform the command to disable autotuning successfully.

Once you enter the command it should come up with simply "OK." and not the
message you received.

hi there,

It seems this problem is really spread.
this is a brand new HP Laptop running Vista (french).
WLM provide the same error @ logtime

when passing the netsh command line it fails with a weard message I cannot
figure what it means
===========================================
netsh interface tcp>set global autotuninglevel=disable

Échec de la commande Set global sur IPv4 L'opération demandée nécessite une
élévation.
==============================================

Sorry for the french , but it seems that the requested operation need to be
raised.
What ever this may means.

I cannot really understand that such a widly used utility as WLM do not work
right out the box !

you need to run netsh from a command window that is elevated. simplest
method - open task manager, click show processes for all uses (and accept
the UAC prompt), then from taskmanger launch cmd from it's file->new menu.
Then try your netsh command.

Hi there, just tried your fix and it worked great. Microsoft realy need to
get their act together.
Regards

Then you right click on it and select the option "run as Administrator".
If you just run it as it is, you will get the fail you mentioned. Then
follow the above procedure and it should say "O.K." in the end. Hope I was
helpfull.

I had the same problem. Open the Messenger Live Menu. Then go to programm and
klick then the Internet Explorer on. Then the Windows Live Messenger should
be conectet into the internet. At least in my case thins then it is working
normally. Fore me it seem to be a problem with the Vista Programm!?

Yes the policy key seems to be missing but it is there...open all the
subfolders you will find contacts there I just tried it for the same issue
and it worked exactly as he said it would. Signed right in to msn after I
deleted that folder.
