File Sharing Problem? Check Acronis True Image!
Yesterday I decided to downgrade my PC to Windows XP. Though Windows 7 is already available, I don’t quite like its interface (have installed beta) and I need a stable system that suits for my needs. I’ve got a list of “Mush have” software, that is installed on my PC after the OS is installed. I have followed the list and I was really surprised when my PC has become inaccessible on the network. More than that, I couldn’t even check my own shared files – I was told I don’t have privileges for that. All programs and all services were in order and I decided to identify “bad” software by uninstalling it one by one.
Though there is no reason for Acronis to block the network, I have become accessible only after I have de-installed Acronis True Image Home 2010. I have recently upgraded it to a newer version and really liked it on Vista. I was really surprised when I found that this nice software doesn’t let me to use my network.
I am not sure whether there is any solution for this problem yet, I have simply downgraded my True Image version to 11, but I’ve googled some advices. Hope they might help you if you face the same problems.
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type regedit, and then click OK.
3. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\LanmanServer\Parameters
4. In the right pane, double-click the IRPStackSize value.NOTE: If the IRPStackSize value does not already exist, use the following procedure to create it:
a. In the Parameters folder of the registry, right-click the right pane.
b. Point to New, and then click DWord Value.
c. Type IRPStackSize.IMPORTANT: Type “IRPStackSize” exactly as it is displayed because the value name is case-sensitive.
5. Change the Base to decimal.
6. In the Value Data box, type a value that is larger than the value that is listed.If you created the IRPStackSize value using the procedure described in step 4, the default value is 15. It is recommended that you increase the value by 3. Therefore, if the previous value was 11, type 14, and then click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor.
8. Restart the computer.
If the problem persists after you complete the preceding procedure, try to increase the value of IRPStackSize even more. The maximum value for Windows 2000 is 50 (0×32 hex).i found a value of 25 worked for me
hope this saves somebody time
Hope that the issue will be resolved by Acronis soon
