I've looked on line and couldn't really find anything to help...I've checked and removed any/all spyware using Spybot and Adaware software...but I'm still having this problem and I end up having to either close out all programs or reboot, to get "sufficient resources" to access the network and I can only access my local hard drive. I have even done a system restore, but that didn't help. I haven't added or installed anything new either.

I've asked the "so-called" IT guys at my work, but they have no clue how to fix things and I wonder why they are even in "IT"...but they attribute it to either other software (like Spybot) causing problems or media players (which I'm not using) and as well have used in the past with no problems. This issue just started about a month ago and I have no idea why...

1) How many processes are running?

2) How much physical memory is available?

Just a hunch here, but you stated that you show .98G of Ram. Try adding more, to say 2 or 3 Gig and see if the problem goes away. Just write down what your computer is and check the local Best Buy or 'computers-r-us' store. Someone should have a memory upgrade for your system. Windows is a real memory hog. (And a disk drive hog)

"I feel your pain"

There are a LOT of folks that belive they are "IT" staff. They are just staff, kinda like "RINO."

1. Unnecessary programs running in the background.

Check here… Start, Run, msconfig and click the tab labeled startup. The check boxes on the left indicate if the program starts on the boot. Check HERE for the general concept and screenshots. Check HERE for the actual list of the programs and their functions. You probably will be able to uncheck most items in the list. The idea is to leave on stuff like your anti-virus and your anti-spyware programs

2. Virtual Memory. Check here… Start, Control Panel, System, Advanced, Advanced, Virtual memory, Change.

Select “Custom Size” and then set Initial and Maximum to 2048. Click on OK, OK, Apply, OK.

That should do it.

Let it go down and stay down to the point that you cannot work.

I bet someone will fix it pretty quick.

Network drive:\ not accessable. Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

Your work has a network with a central server, and that server is either down or you're not logged into it. Ask your system administrator why you cannot access the network drive.

I have found this site to be a very knowledgable site with great resources and all kinds of problems. This is the XP-Pro Microsoft newsgroup. If you look to the left there are many areas to look or do a search of the XP-PRO forum.

I read this site just to learn.

BTW, you will need admin rights to do this which you probably dont have. Print out the procedure and let your IT folks have a crack at it.
