    After installing "True Image" I get the message "\\drivename is not accessible. Not enough server storage to process this request" whenever I try accessing any files on my network. If I rollback windows to before the install the network starts working again so I know it's True Image that's causing the problem. The question is: How do I fix it?

    Thanks

    You need to set the irpstacksize https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=162191&highlight=irpstacksize
    . See Post #3.

    Thanks, set the stack to 20 on both machines will see what happens when I boot up again tomorrow...very obscure thing to have to do...just a suggestion--if this program needs a bigger IRPStack maybe it could automatically change the registry during install?

    Did you ever have Norton Antivirus or Security installed? Blame those programs, they reset the size to too low a value.

    This was a problem with early releases of V9 and maybe V8. Its not been reported in quite a while. Mine is set to 21.

    I am not sure if this is a fault of any program including the, IMO, dreaded Symantec products. The needed value depends on just how many "things" are running that make use of this resource, not a specific program. Default WinXP installations don't even have a parameter listed for IRPSTACKSIZE in the registry it is defaulted to 15.

    I think any value from 15 to 50 is legit. I think I had to go over 20 and ended up setting it at 30 for good measure, IIRC.

    Thanks everyone, setting it to 20 has given me back access again. Just curious, how much more memory am I giving up by changing this value from 15 to 20?

    I don't know is the short answer - but my feeling is that it is nothing to be concerned about. Nothing you can do about it anyway if you want it to work. I found this:

    IRPstackSize is a Server service-specific parameter that specifies the number of stack locations in I/O request packets (IRPs) used by the Server service on an NT Server or Workstation. It may be necessary to increase this number for certain transports, MAC drivers, or local file system drivers. You may experience problems related to this value right after adding a device or service to the system, because that driver or service may push this heap past its default size limit.
