I recently set up a 2 pc home network with a new XP home
pc and my older Win98 pc. I've set up sharing so that I
can see the shared folders one from the other. I can get
to the files on the 98 pc from the XP pc, but when I try
to open my shared folder on the xp pc from the 98 machine
I get an error saying that the "folder is not accessible.
Not enough memory is avaiable. Quit some programs". I
can see the folder in Netwrok Neighborhood but can't open
it. There are no other programs running. Windows system
monitor shows 80 to 90% resources free in 98. The 98 pc
has 256 meg of memory and more than one memory utility
shows over half is unused. I also get the same error when
trying to print to the shared printer on the XP Home pc.
Any insights would be appreciated.

Do you have Norton Anti-Virus installed?

If so, read this article from Symantec:
