Oplock Fix v1.1

Modern Windows networks may use two techniques to help increase network performance: Opportunistic Locking (OpLocks) and Read Caching. Unfortunately these methods can also potentially cause severe data integrity issues including data loss and database corruption when using non-SQL based applications on a network.

It is firmly recommended that OpLocks and Read Caching be disabled on your network computers so as to help protect your valuable data. This utility program provides a safe way for you to do this without manually editing the registry.

This Oplock utility (v1.1) replaces the program which was previously posted here and is a revised and more comprehensive solution which covers all Windows operating systems from Win 95 through to Win 2003 server.

Simply download this program to your computer and then open/run the file (OpLockFix.exe) to start the wizard.
