I have just tried the desktop heap monitor and I get the error saying: dheapinst - Win32k.sys symbol load error, Correct symbol required. I have no idea what this means or the correct directory it should be pointed too...

Hi. Thanks for your replys Ok IRPStackSize is dec 50.

And yes, it is immidiatly after the machine reboots...

Does anyone have any other ideas I could try?

Not entirely accurate. That those numbers are possible is entirely accurate, but those are not the usual defaults. The reason for this is that unless you use /3GB, there's 2GB of VA available to the kernel, and approximately 12.5% of that will be dedicated to npp. If on boot you have drivers or applications that memory map that use RAM, or require larger Paged Pool or PTE pool, or an increased session space, then yes, that is the "low water mark" max you will see. However, by default, the kernel will try (and almost always succeed) in mapping all of npp into RAM at 256MB (or 128MB with /3GB) - remember, kernel memory is allocated dynamically on boot unless certain registry modifications and/or boot.ini options are in place. It's been literally YEARS since I've seen a box boot with less than 256MB of npp when 1GB of RAM or more was installed. At 512MB, this is more of an issue, but at 1GB (even 768MB is usually safe) or more, 256MB is the standard. Again, hardware drivers, startup services, and kernel-mode filter drivers can affect this dynamic allocation, but in general your machine with more than 1GB of RAM will see 256MB of npp. The OP has 2GB of RAM, so I am SURE that server has 256MB of npp as well . And to MCrocker, at this point I strongly suggest using poolmon to try and track this down. I have got poolmon loaded up but i dont know how to use it to be able to diagnose the problem... :/ Edit: This is straight after a reboot, and I still have the problem. And after I disabled all the unnesserary services and apps. Memory: 2096472K Avail: 1698908K PageFlts: 291 InRam Krnl: 2396K P:19820K Commit: 287624K Limit:8234404K Peak: 294096K Pool N:14748K P:20268K Looks like there is plenty of space!... I have also tried this. I stopped basicly every app running on start up thats not needed. Also did the same for services. Didnt help.

Hi. Thats for your replies but nothing worked. I tried reg changes suggested etc but no luck. The system has 2gb of RAM, no way need fully used! I have now set maximum page file size (3070-4096) on both partitions. so 6140 in total. It says in there its recomended size is 3070. I also have plenty of HDD space left on both disks..... :\ Anyone know what else may be wrong? Am kinda desperate here!..... Edit: Also just to note that this isnt a busy file server or anything, but it is very important.

Hi. I cannot start any services on a widows 2003 server. I am getting an error in event log: Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7023 Date: 07/02/2008 Time: 08:36:38 User: N/A Computer: EROS Description: The IIS Admin Service service terminated with the following error: Not enough storage is available to process this command. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. This is the problem that I really need to resolve as I cannot start IIS and really need too but it is affecting almost everything. Event 7023 seems to be a general error and I have googles LOADS and cant find anything else. Any advice would be greatly appriciated! :-D Thanks
