When I tried to log on to ours pc, a message saying “there are not sufficient resources to load” my account with the default something-or-other popped up. The message had a timer that was going to close the message, and then when it closed it would not log me on. I couldn’t turn it off normally so I cut the power. When I turned it back on I logged on fine?
I read here Windows Error but couldnt make sense?

You have a small Syntax error. The vaue is a DWORD and it needs to be case sensitive “IRPStackSize”. Other than that you nailed the issue. There are so many people out their with bullshit fixes for the problem and yours is the only one that actually worked. There is a Microsoft Knowledge base entry that gets the syntax right http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285089/

Once again thanks for the help.
