Win98 machine "out of memory" error

I have a Win98 Laptop and a WinXP desktop accessing the internet wirelessly
through a Lynsys BEF11S4.

My desktop can send files to the remote machine. No problems.

The laptop can see the desktop drive in the netwrok neighborhood but when I
try to open a folder I get "quit some programs - not enough memory"

The laptop is running nothing other the windows explorer and has 192 Megs
RAM.

I'd like the laptop to be able to send files to the desktop.

What [simple] thing am I missing here?

Thank you.

the win98 error messages are not always correct, it culd very well be
that you have no writing rights at the specific location on the xp machine.

I am able to "ping" either computer.

I have the WinXP shares set for full access. I can see the folders but
access results in "out of memort" message.

You are also running the NIC's program and maybe anti-virus program too
right?
What are the free system resources?
Start...Programs....Accessories....System Tools....System Information (If
your computer is set up to view it).
How much free space is on the laptop's hard drive?
How is your laptop's Win98 handling the virtual memory?
I have used an old 486 laptop with Win95 and wired NIC, and no problems with
moving files around my other computers (XP, XP, Win98SE).
I currently use a P-II 300Mhz laptop, D-Link wireless, with WinME and it has
no problems.

98+ megs are free RAM; 4 gigs free HDD.
I don't think it is really an "out of memory problem" but that is the error
message I get when I try to access a remote folder.

I've turned off the anti-virus and the firewall.

Other suggestions welcomed.

Thank you.

Imperfect thinking on my end. I assumed the "out of memory" error referrred
to the Windows98 laptop where te message appeared. It actually referred to
the Windows XP machine I was trying to access.

Solution was to increase IRPStackSize in the Windows XP registry.

Problem solved.

Thank you.

I have a similar problem with a desktop as soon as you activate the wireless
card the dial up grinds to a slow crawl.. I wonder where the Stack is in ME
so I can increase it?
(simplified question)

Here's a link to the solution to my problem. It explicitly does not apply
to Windows ME but you may find the answer poking arounf. Good luck.

Some wireless connection utility software (e.g. Orinoco USB on Win98se)
continually eats up memory, you don't need to have it running once you
sorted out the best possible connection.

Just curious, does the "just installed Norton antivirus" apply to your
situation?
