Hi,

If there is a new thread started please let me know, because to date I have
still not been able to solve this problem.
I have tried everything that I can think (including a reinstall of XP) of
and everything that has been suggested without any effect on the problem.
I now transfer files on my home network by memory stick!!

Rich,

If there is a second thread (and I hope there will be), I hope we can all note
it. I would like the other poster to start one though. Having two threads
under one heading does NOT help us to help you. We need to focus on your
problem.

Back to your problem.

In one case, you write
I have got rid of one browstat error by increasing the stack size to "decimal
11"
and later
I increased the IRP_STACK_SIZE on the Vista pc to correct browsat status
error 1130. I set it at 11 and this seems to have fixed that error.
yet later
I have increased the IRPStackSize in steps up to dec.200 on both the Vista
(Margaret-PC machine) and the XP machine (RJC-Rutland) and it has made no
difference,

If you're increasing the IRPStackSize setting, note the absolute precision
required in both the Path (aka "Key"), and the Setting Name (aka "Value").

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ LanmanServer\
Parameters] (with spaces removed) is the key. You MUST use this exact key.

IRPStackSize is the value name. You must use this exact value name.

Robert & Chuck,

Thanks for the help again.

When I increased the stack size before I thought I had got rid of the error
mistakenly. I think that I hadn't realised that the problem went away if I
started the Vista PC first. (This is not normally a easy workaround because
my desktop runs most of the time and my wife's Vista notebook just visits)
I will have get back to you with the other tests in a week or two because my
wife works for the armed forces and her notebook is with her (without being
too specific on line) somewhere hot and sandy.

Just one other thought, one common thread on all pc's is that they have
Kaspersky Internet Security loaded on them. I have tried exiting it and
disabling it in msconfig and it makes no differance, but last week my boys pc
stopped being able to access the iTunes shop. I tried all the recommended
fixes and eventually fixed it by completely uninstalling Kaspersky then
reinstalling it. I will try the same on both the XP pc and the Vista pc when
I can get my hands on it.

Hi Rich,

Kaspersky, like other security programs, contains an anti-worm component that
acts like a firewall, and is known to interfere with SMBs, and cause problems.
Look for other threads in this forum that mention "Kaspersky" - there was one
just this week. Kaspersky Support isn't very helpful all of the time,
unfortunately.

And if you're going to bottom post (which is good, and I thank you), please
remove your empty signature from the top of the post. Specifically, a line
starting with "-- " is a problem with some news readers.

If you continue to have problems with IRPStackSize, please re read the Microsoft
article, and double check the registry path ("key"), and the registry key name
("value name"). This particular registry entry is completely syntax sensitive.
One wrong character, you aren't adding / modifying the right entry, and you're
wasting your time.
