Desktop and laptop both on Win 2k shared files on each
through router Desktop reads and writes to laptop files no
prob but laptop has decided it can't open even the
smallest shared file from the desktop as "not enough
server storage is available"
Laptop has ample memory and hdd space I'm out of ideas any
one got any I might try please
 
Re-apply the latest service pack.

By the way, have you considered this revolutionary
idea of using punctuation? It makes your posts a
whole lot more readable! Omitting it is like speaking
in a totally flat, monotonous voice, without ever
pausing.
 
Tried that - dind't work - thanks anyway
May I suggest that politeness is better way of getting
your point across.
Sarcasm is usually offensive
 
When I post something in a public forum and ask for
strangers to give me some of their time, free of charge,
to help me, then I will make every effort to write my request
clearly, concisely and in an easy-to-read style so that
the potential respondent has no problem at all in
wrapping his mind around my issue. If I wrote it poorly,
ignoring standard and accepted conventions in spelling
and punctuation, then he/she might think that I could not be
bothered to take the time to proof-read my own post, that I
did not really care about the whole thing. This is how
I would go about it; I shall never know what you thought
when you composed your own initial post. If my sarcastic
response shook you up then so be it.

With respect to your technical issue: Here are some
additional notes that might be of help.

"Not enough server storage is available to process this
command."

- Usually handled by applying the latest service pack
- Sometimes caused by NAV or IBM AV:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;177078

Protected Service is a service that is used by Internet Information Server
and Internet Explorer. This service is responsible for encrypting data on
the local system so that only the user who owns the data can access it.
This is a required service if you want IIS or IE to function properly.

If the service failed:
1. Delete the key 'ProtectedStorage' in
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
2. Reboot
3. In a Command Prompt type 'pstores.exe -install'
If it still fails then you may have a non-zero PagedPoolSize entry in the
registry.
Edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management and Set PagedPoolSize to 0.

Another cause is dealt with in KB Article q106167.
 
Although I entirely agree with "make every effort write my request clearly",
I see nothing wrong with the original Jude's request. It is absolutely clear
even for a non-english speaker like myself.
Are you a moderator of this NG so that you feel under obligation to advise
people how to speak in here?
 
No, I'm no moderator but I feel that a respondent's effort
in writing a good reply should be matched by the poster
making a decent effort in the first place. I had the impression
that this was not the case here. Experience says that
carelessly written posts often attract poor replies, or are
ignored altogether. Incidentally, my mother tongue isn't
English either.
 
Incidentally, my mother tongue isn't English either.

Then what is it? Latin should go well with your nickname?
 
Thanks for the support and help
The post supplied the answer to the problem
I had tried to make the problem clear by sticking to the
facts but obviously short factual posts do not suit
everyone - still help was appreciated
