Make sure all three options are unchecked then click ok.

Let me know if they were or were not checked and if it helped.



Hi, I checked and the first one (automatically detect settings) had a check mark in it. I removed the check mark.

Thank you again, and again, and again. The laptop runs much faster now. It's great!
