(On the Edit menu, click DWORD. Type 11, make sure under Base that "decimal" is selected, click OK.)
Try this:
To return the IRPStackSize value to the default setting:
Click Start, click Run, type regedt32 in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
Locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanmanserver\Parameters
Click the IRPStackSize value.
On the Edit menu, click DWORD.
Type 11, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor, and then restart Windows 2000.
