Did you restart Windows after chaning the registry?  The new values do
not take effect until you restart.

You should make it be two zeros, since it is a byte, not a word.  I'd
guess that 4 zeros will also work, but I've learned from bitter
experience not to rely on Microsoft software being sensible.
