Then go to Local Computer Policy/Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Network/QOS Pocket Scheduler/Limit Reservable Bandwidth.Double click in Limit Reservable Bandwidth.It will say that it is not configured,but the truth is under the Explain tab that is by default the Pocket Scheduler limits the system to 20%  of the bandwidth of a connection. But you can use this setting by override the default.
So the trick is to Enable reservable bandwidth ,then set it to 0.This will allow the system to reserve nothing,rather than the default 20%.After doing all of this,Restart computer.It works on Windows 2000 as well.That's all...
