networking error message: "Not enough memory is available. Quit some programs" ??
Hi all,
I have a six station LAN, all win98se machindes except one with windows XP Pro to which I recently added a second 120G drive, each drive is partitioned with a 20G active partition, and 2 - 50G logical partitions. but since doing this I can no longer connect from any of the win98 machines to these drives, I get the error: "Not enough memory is available. Quit some programs.' I've quit everything except explorer and systray and still get the same error, so is there a way to access these drives? I have them shared on the XP machine, set to only read from but not allowing the networked machines to modify files on those drives. I'm wondering if is has something to do with the NTFS as opposed to the FAT32, although I was able to connect and access them before when I only had a 6G C: drive (one physical drive) and the 120G drive with the three partitions. Is it just something I forgot to do, or is it a limitation of the win98 O/S? thanks, niteowl |

Hi niteowl,
Give this a try and see if it resolves the problem.......... On the XP computer, open the registry editor (StartRun, key in regedit then click on OK or hit ENTER). Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\lanmanserver\parameters In the righthand pane, locate and double-click on the IRPStackSize value (if the IRPStackSize value does not exist, right-click in the right-hand pane, select New then DWORD Value and key in IRPStackSize as name for the new value.......double-click on this new value of IRPStackSize) Click in the radio button beside Decimal and modify the amount in the Value data field to 15, then click on OK. Close the registry editor, restart, see if you can now access the shares. If the problem persists, increase the value (recommended to increase in increments of 3). The maximum value is 50.

Patti,
That did it, the value was set to 11, changed it to 15, and it worked as before... :-) thank you!!! niteowl On Sun, 9 Jan 2005 15:57:40 -0500, "Patti MacLeod" wrote: Hi niteowl, Give this a try and see if it resolves the problem..........
