"Not enough server storage is available to process this command" This error indicates that you are falling foul of the IRPStackSize bug.
The problem is on the machine you are attempting to connect to, not the machine where you see the error message.
On the computer you are attempting to connect to, Check the event viewer for an event ID 2011.
Usual fix : You need to fix a parameter called IRPStackSize
On the computer you are attempting to connect to, Set the IRPStackSize back to the default (15 ). Perform the following steps:
1. Start the registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe). 2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Services\lanmanserver\parameters. 3. Double-click IRPStackSize (or if this registry setting doesn't exist,create it of type DWORD and ensure the case is correct). 4. Change the base to decimal, set the value to 15, and click OK. 5. Reboot the computer.
Norton AV is usual suspect for breaking it.
There's a KB article about this, too.

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME in Win XP BSOD
Another Windows XP tip, from the dark corners of my own personal experience.
The problem: You turn on your computer, but Windows doesn’t start. All you get is a blue screen that says UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. What, oh, what do you do?
The solution: Boot into the Recovery Console. For this you need your XP CD, and go through the motions like you’re going to reinstall Windows, but look for the Recovery Console option instead. The Recovery Console is a command-line interface with diagnostic and repair tools. Once you’re in the console, enter these three commands in turn:
chkdsk /र
chkdsk /प
fixboot
The first one can take half an hour or longer, the others zip by really quick. After that, reboot your computer, and you should be golden

Playing DOS games in XP
Whizzing around in the vast 3D complexity of today's modern games, I often wonder if gaming
has really taken a step forward since the good ole' days of DOS and 3.1 in anything other
than graphics. Weak plots, frustrating challenges, lame puzzles, all attempting to cloak the
one and only intent: KILL EVERYTHING.
I have no problem with killing everything... its true, after a stressful day there are few
things I enjoy more, but other days I can help being bored and somewhat disappointed by it.
My mind can't help but think back to the days when games cost a few pounds on tape or
diskette, each bringing something new and exciting to the gaming world. This was back in the
days when gamers made games in their bedrooms, many a millionaire was created by such simple
means, even back when game tapes cost less than £5 and more people had model railway sets
than Personal Computers! I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest the the money driven mania
that is the gaming industry today is persistently failing its loyal customers more and more,
with every title formulaically spewed out.
But there is hope!
Why not get those old diskettes out from their dusty old boxes, filled with nostalgia and
get installing! Don't panic if you haven't kept the old disks, they're broken or you can't
find your favourite - Abandonware is here to save you. Games get the title of abanonware
when they are no longer published or discontinued. This means they are free to copy,
distribute and download.
In this guide I'm going to show you how to get your old DOS/3.1/Win95 games working on your
newer Win2000/XP machine and how to 'emulate' them if needed. I'm also going to show you
where you can find and download your favourite old games for free.
Downloading
How to download free games
If you can't find your favourite old game or have just thrown it away along time ago you
probably will still be able to find it on the internet as its almost certainly now
considered abandonware meaning it can now be legally downloaded for free!
Downloading Free Games - Legally!
There are literally hundreds of abandonware sites, but luckily the nice people at the
Abandonware Ring have compiled a continually updated and rated list of the top sites. The
folks at TUOL also have a huge list which includes links to various resources. Both have a
search engine and between these 2 sites you should be able to find virtually any abandonware
game you desire, along with enough other games to keep you playing for a lifetime. The Home
of The Underdogs is also a great site, however it's dedicated to games that never got the
recognition they deserve and not exclusively an abandonware resource (pop-up warning).
Clever Ways with Send to
One of the real Windows goodies is the Send To list in the pop-up menu when you right-click a file or an Icon. As it stands, the Send To options include some useful standards … send the file to a floppy, to an email recipient, to the desktop as a shortcut … and a couple more.
But you can easily add to those options. You might want to have a variety of different destination folders, plus maybe your printer. Send To for a popular application, such as Notepad, Word and image editor, are handy too.
Start by creating a shortcut to the thing you want to add … this is easily done by holding down the right mouse button while you drag it to your desktop. XP users can release it if the plus sign is showing; that creates a shortcut. Users of 98 and ME will have to release it and select “Create Shortcut Here”. Click the new icon, press F2 and give the shortcut any name you want. Alternatively, right click and “rename” it.
Do these as often as you need for the extra Send To items. By the way, printers can be dragged on to the desktop to create shortcuts in the same manner.
Now collect all the shortcut icons on your desktop … right-click on each while holding down Ctrl … and press Ctrl, X to cut them. Use Explorer (Window key + E) to go to C:\Windows\SendTo (for Windows 98/ME) or C:\Documents and Settings\[username] (for XP – it’s a hidden file so you might have to go to Tools, Folder Options, View and select Show hidden files and folders).
Right-click that folder and select Paste. You’ll see that you’re newly created shortcuts join the existing ones. Now try out your revised Send To command you’ll see your newly created shortcuts will be included in the list.An even quicker way...
There’s a neat trick that provides a quicker way to add a shortcut to the Send To menu: you add a shortcut to the Send To folder itself.
Here’s how, locate the Send To folder and drag it on to the desktop to create a shortcut. Then cut and past the shortcut into the Send To folder as before. Sounds odd, but it works.
Now, when you want to add a program destination to the Send To folder, right-click the program in Windows Explorer and choose Send To, Shortcut to Send To. That will put a new shortcut into the Send To menu.
WARNING: Don’t try using this technique to add folders to the Send To menu … you won’t get a shortcut there, you’ll move the entire folder there.
If your Send To menu starts to get unwieldy, just group the contents logically into subfolder. Use Explorer to go to the Send To menu and create subfolders as normal. The subfolders will appear in the Send To list, with their contents in a submenu.

Missing GPEDIT.MSC in WinXP
You can re-load gpedit.msc
from your Windows XP Professional CD-ROM. Boot from the CD-ROM,
run Recovery Console,
and enter this command:
expand D:\i386\gpedit.ms_ c:\windows\system32
If your CD-ROM drive isn't D:, substitute the appropriate drive letter.

A lot of people don't realize that it's possible to build a dual-core workstation with good 2D graphics and even some decent 3D performance that's fully Vista capable for a reasonable price. In fact, you can do it for around $1,133. That price includes a massive 22" LCD and Vista Home Premium OEM software, as well as the cost of shipping. For that kind of money in the retail sector or mail order, you wouldn't get close to these specifications and you'd probably end up with lousy embedded graphics chipsets. The only catch is that you actually have to build it. But in this tutorial, I'll explain the parts you need and show you how to assemble it all. Not only do you get the satisfaction of knowing you've put in good components, you also get the satisfaction of giving the PC life with your own hands. I can't think of a better hobby to have. We'll start with the parts list. Note that the pictures shown aren't necessarily the same parts in the list, but they're close enough for the purposes of this tutorial.
Parts list
Mainstream home or office dual-core workstation
Cost
Biostar TForce965PT with Realtek gigabit LAN and 7.1 audio *
$105
Intel dual-core C2D E6300 (can clock very high) **
$184
Stock Intel retail CPU fan (included with CPU)
Seagate 400 GB SATA II HDD
$120
Cooler Master CAV-T03-UW
$70
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 PCI-Express with 256 MB (w/HDTV out)
$70
Patriot 1 GB (2 x 512MB) DDR2-667 RAM ***
$72
SeaSonic silent/efficient 330 watt PSU
$60
Lite-on 16x SATA-based dual-layer DVD burner
$36
Dell 22" widescreen 1680x1050 LCD monitor
$296
Vista Home Premium Edition OEM 32-bit (64-bit same price)
$120
Total (shipping included but not taxes)
$1,133
*You will need Vista drivers found on Realtek's Web site for LAN and audio. This is especially true if you get Vista 64-bit edition, since the sound drivers included won't run correctly without the updated drivers. All other hardware should run fine on a fresh Vista install, though it's recommended that you use the latest 32-bit NVIDIA drivers (64-bit).
** This CPU can typically safely overclock 25% over the stock speed with minor voltage increases to keep it stable in Vista and permit SpeedStep power saving mode to function. Some more aggressive overclockers have been known to push this to 50% and even beyond, with high voltage increases and massive cooling fans. Do not attempt more than 25% with the stock Intel CPU fan and stick with modest voltage increases if you want your system to be stable and without error. You can read more on how this type of hardware works with Windows Vista. This type of a mainstream system isn't meant for massive overclocking and a free 25% boost in performance (bumped up to 2.33 GHz) is very safe and doable. Also note that you'll need to bump up to DDR2-800 if you want to clock the CPU any higher.
*** 1 GB in Vista will offer good performance. If you double the RAM to 2 GBs, it will offer premium performance and allow you to work with much larger graphics files or run multiple virtual machines inside the free Virtual PC 2007.
Assembly instructions
We'll start by taking the PC chassis out of the box. The chassis shown is the Cooler Master CAV-T03-UW, which is solidly built and relatively cheap at $60. There's usually a small bag or box that contains screws you need to put the system together. In Photo A, it's lying on the chassis on top of the drive bays. I've also taken the power supply out of the box and laid it inside the chassis, shown in the upper-right of the photo Note how the power supply has the fan grill exposed toward the motherboard. That is the orientation you want.
Photo A
Next, we need to find the following kind of screw to hold down the power supply shown in Photo B.
Photo B
Now, we need to use four of those screws to screw in the power supply. Note the location of the four highlighting circles I drew in the bottom left of Photo C.
Note on the power supply: I'm using a SeaSonic S12-330 330 watt power supply, which can be had for $55. I swear by these power supplies, and I own five of them because they're super efficient at above 80 percent, they're dead silent, and they're very affordable. Most power supplies make much more noise and are typically in the 60-70 percent energy efficiency range. Many people spend upwards of $100 on a higher power supply, citing the myth that you need at least 400 watts and higher on a modern computer. That's utter nonsense even for a high-end PC. Even the highest-end PCs peak out at around 250 watts. The measured power consumption at the plug for the PC in this tutorial idled at around 73 watts and peaked out at around 110 watts during intense CPU loads. The high wattage power supply proponents will often cite video card manuals specifying that they need a 400 watt power supply, but those numbers were just pulled out of thin air and aren't based on actual power consumption measurements. 330 watts happens to be one of the smallest ATX power supplies you can find, and it's more than enough for what we're building here.
Photo C
Next, we have to find the following types of screws, shown in Photo D, to mount the motherboard in place. You'll usually need nine of them.
Photo D
You can mostly put these screws in with your finger, but you'll still need something like the tool shown in Photo E.

Let Word format your document as you type
Takeaway: Word contains a variety of document formats to assist you in assigning particular styles to your pages. Mary Ann Richardson discusses how you can save time while creating a polished look with the help of Word's Style Gallery.
If you aren't sure how to format your document, Word includes a number of document styles that you can choose from, covering everything from spacing between paragraphs, when to indent, what type of heading to use, and table formats. All you need do is select the style you want from Word's Style Gallery, and Word will do the rest. For example, say you are typing an end-of-the-year department report and would like to use the Elegant Report document style. Follow these steps:
Go to Format Theme.
Click the Style Gallery... button.
Under Template, select Elegant Report and click OK.
Go to Tools AutoCorrect Options.
Click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
Under the Apply As You Type section, click the Built-In Heading Styles check box.
Under the Automatically As You Type section, click the Define Styles Based On your Formatting check box.
Click OK.
Now you can begin typing the text of your report; Word will automatically format the document text to conform to the Elegant Report style you have chosen.
To see which formats are active, follow these steps:
Click [Ctrl][F1] to display the Task Pane (or go to View Task Pane in Word 2002).
Click the Getting Started arrow and select Styles And Formatting.
In the Show box, select Formatting In Use from the drop-down menu.
If you disagree with any of the styles applied by Word, you can select the text and reformat according to your preferences.
If you have an existing document and you would like to apply a style from the Style Gallery, don't worry -- you don't have to retype the document. Follow steps 1 through 3 in the first set of instructions to select your style, and use these steps to have Word format your document all at once:
Go to Format AutoFormat.
Click AutoFormat Now.
Click OK.
As always, you can override any format Word applies.
