"irpstacksize" tweak

Yesterday was full backup day.

Since my old laptop last installed xp is in 2006 and I used to installed it with oracle 10g, it’s getting slow even I added the ram. Thats why I decided to backup all those important document to my PC at home.

So, set up the domain for home networking, unfortunately windows gives me following error:

Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

What the heck? is 2gb RAM and 500GB harddrive isnt enough storage?

I checked with the event viewer, it said that my “irpstacksize” is too small to do the operations.

Hmm, looks like registry problems. According to Microsoft KB, this is the solution :

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

1. If the IRPStackSize entry is not present in this subkey, follow these steps:
   1. Click Edit, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
   2. Type IRPStackSize, and then press ENTER. 
      
      Note Type IRPStackSize exactly as it appears. The value name is case sensitive.
2. Click IRPStackSize, click Edit, and then click Modify.
3. In the Data Value box, type a larger value, and then click OK.
   
   Note Values may range from 0×1 to 0xC. These values are equivalent to 1 to 12 in decimal notation.

If the problem persists after you complete the previous procedure, increase the value of IRPStackSize more.

Tadaa, The problems gone. Good Luck if you are having the same problems.
