TcpAckFrequency changes resulting in BAD_POOL_CALLER

Hey guys, I recently tried to decrease my ping using the following guide

1) Determine your IP (ipconfig or similar)
2) Run Regedit
3) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
4) Determine which interface is for your IP. The correct interface will have a DhcpIPAddress set to your current IP.
5) Right-click on the interface and select New->DWORD
6) Set the name to TcpAckFrequency (case sensitive)
7) Set to a decimal value of "1"
8) Save
9) Restart your computer

Im pretty sure I followed it correctly but when I restarted my computer I got a BSOD saying BAD_POOL_CALLER. After reseting my computer and logging in again I still get the message, as of right now I can only turn on the computer in safe mode for a maximum of 45 seconds before the blue screen comes up again. I have tried system restore but it wont restore because it says that there have not been any changes. So far I have tried using different decimal values, like 2 which I think is default and 0 but I am still getting the error? Any advice would really be appriciated.

Edit: Using windows xp home edition service pack 2
 
Try the obvious: disconnect from the LAN and delete the added registry entry :)
