>I'm new to NT, so what is Server Storage and why done't I have it? I got this with SP3 and SP6a trying to start up the Server Service. I need the Server service and others because I need to use ASP pages and I'm running PWS.

As usual, failing to check the ntfaq was a mistake. From
www.ntfaq.com:Q. I get the error "Not enough server storage is available to process this command".
A. This problem may be due to the machines having a non-zero PagedPoolSize in the registry. This can be set by performing the following:
Log onto the server as an Administrator
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
Double click on PagedPoolSize and set to 0
Click OK
Close the registry editor
Reboot the machine
If PagedPoolSize is 0 then it allows NT to dynamically allocate memory, the installation of software such as ARCServe is known to cause this problem.
This can also be caused when accessing a Windows NT Server share from a Windows NT client if IRPstackSize is too small. To correct try the following:
Log onto the server as Administrator
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Double click on IRPstackSize
Increase the value. Valid ranges are between 1 and 12. Click OK
Reboot the machine.
You may find once setting this, other connections, such as those to NetWare volumes, gain a performance boost.
Another cause for this error is if you installed Service Pack 3 onwards before installing any network components. If this is the case then re-apply Service Pack 3 and any subsequent hotfixes. It is good practise to reapply a service pack whenever you modify/add components to the system.
