Stop Codes

On no!!!

The site with a fantastic set of stop codes notes, auhma.org has darkened their stop code page.

It used to be

SO We have to dig it up from Archive.org
USE THIS

And this on changing Lanman parameters in XP (hint set to 8 F's)

And for Windows 7 shares or name dropping:

• \CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters\size
  Your choices for this registry key are 1,2 and 3.
  1 = Minimize Memory Used
  2 = Balance
  3 = Maximize Throughput for File Sharing and Maximize Throughput for Network Applications
  
  Be sure to set this to (3). By default it is configured to 1.
• \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
  Management\LargeSystemCache
      By default this value is probably set to “0” and needs to be changed to “1”

Couple of utilities seen recently

Tto minimize ram usage find:
DTaskManager


For remote access
  GBridge (sets up a vpn, uses VNC, but can use RDP)
Maybe
  Live Mesh
