AWESOME! Had a client with a 6 xp station network. Has been working fine for over a year. It suddenly wouldn’t see an external USB HD that is used for nightly backups. Said it was now an Internet share.

This fix worked! Did it on the machine that had the external drive – rebooted – and all the other machines could see it again!!!!!

Magic!!!!!!
Have a home network with 3 XP and 1 Vista PC’s which has been running fine for about 18 months
Suddenly last night 1 of the XP PC’s developed this problem. Nothing new installed or changed (except an update to Adobe Reader) and suddenly no access to any shares
Googled the message, found this fix, applied it with value of 21, then HEY PRESTO, NO PROBLEMS
THANKS MUCHLY

Did he ever come back to you about this? I have the same problem, having set the IRPStackSize to 50, I still get the error message.

What gets me is how in the world has this server ran for 3 years and not had this problem until now?

So… I’ve got a problem with the “not enough storage to process this command” error, but the premise seems to be a bit different from everyone else here, and I can’t see how it seems to be a sharing issue as it is just my sole computer, running vista, with a cable modem being my direct internet access point. I get the error when I am trying to install the Windows Media Format 11 runtimes on my computer, and as a result have never installed said codec and been settling with WMF9 ever since I bought the computer maybe two years ago. I just did a clean reformat as part of a ritualistic cleanup process, and it doesnt matter what state the compy is in… it never has worked once. Any thoughts? I’d like to consider myself fairly computer savvy, granted no programmer, but have been kinda stumped on this one. Tried installing both with elevated priviledges and regular, no diff. Any help would be awesome!

I too have had this problem for three weeks – and it’s really central to the way I work – so this solution was A REALLY BIG HELP. I had to set the IRPStackSize on my desktop to 18 before the problem was solved (linking a vista laptop tp an XP desktop). Many many thanks.

Thanks. It worked for me. I added the IRPStackSize in Vista Home Premium, at first I typed 25, the client said that it worked for 12 hours and she received the error again on a different drive but still using the same server PC. That is why I changed 25 to 50. Hopefully, the client will not receive the error again.

Thanks!
I have two USB drives (1TB & 500GB) connected to my XP SP2 machine, and was only able to access the 1TB from my VISTA 64bit machine. After applying this REGEDIT to both machines, I can now access both drives.

I was having the same problem. First I thought it was permissions, firewall settings, and even wireless settings. This was the trick to my fix. Thanks!

I’ve tried this simple registy add-on and after restarting the computer everything works fine. Thanks very much for the tip.

I got two computer, one HP media center box and one Lenovo X60s laptop. Both reinstalled with the same version of XP SP3. HP sharing works fine but Lenovo machine shows the above message all the time when accessed from the network. Applied above tip and magic happens! everything is working. Thanks a lot.
