Server storage

[kham]

Hi.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would like to know what this mean when I boot up my Winnt 4.0.&nbsp;&nbsp;It has informed me to check my event viewer and when I did, this is what I get:<br><br>The computer browser service depends on the Server service which failed to start because of the following error:<br>not enough server storage is available to process this command.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>How do I get rid of this message???&nbsp;&nbsp;I do have Administration rights.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Another question.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have installed all the service pack up to service pack 5 and have noticed that I did not get an active desktop beside the start button.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there a way to install it back without deleting any of the service pack?&nbsp;&nbsp;Please help<br><br>Kham

If my memory serves me correctly, the &quot;Server Service&quot; error should (should) be a service pack fix. If you already installed 5 that should have taken care of it. I would go up to 6 and see what happens. As for the active desktop, this may be a browser version issue.

Hi.&nbsp;&nbsp;What other fix can I use other than installing service pack 6?.&nbsp;&nbsp;Currently, our company are not upgrading to service pack 6 yet.&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't know when, but for the time being, I have installed two WINNT4.0 (one on a desktop and one on a laptop 600x).&nbsp;&nbsp;Both have the server storage message.&nbsp;&nbsp;I did went to some sites and they were mentioning something about going into the regedistry editor to fix the problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am not really comfortable with regedit side, therefore, I did not follow the instructions.&nbsp;&nbsp;Anymore hints?<br><br>In regards to the Active desktop, I have IE5 with 128 Bit.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there a site that you might know where to update the Active Desktop after installing IE5?

The server service error can happen usually due to 2 possible reason:<br>1) you have allocated not enough registry size in Winnt. Can be over come by going to system properties -&gt; performance -&gt; virtual memory -&gt; change... Somewhere below to popup screen is a setting for registry size. make sure the Maiximum registry size is slightly more than the curent registry size, say 10 MB larger?<br><br>2) You have reinstall the Winnt or install some programs that overwrite some files that the service pack requires. You just need to re-install the service pack again and it should be solved.<br><br>Active desktop comes with IE4 by default, for IE5 if installed on Winnt, Active Desktop is not install. Try installing IE4 first and upgrade to IE5 and you'll get be able to retain the active desktop.

There are know bug problems with Service Pack 5. I had numerious problems occur on my systems when 5 was applied, But when I upgraded to SP6A, the problems went away. Take a look at the KB's from MS.<br><br>
