Ok this is more of a windows question than an XBMC question but I cant seem to google and answer for this.
I have a fresh install of windows 7 with only a few things installed. Dreamweaver, Coldfusion Builder, GetDataBack for NTFS, Chrome, VMWare Server, XBMC, and PS3 Media Server.
Other than the 32bit Windows 7 OS, that's all the is installed. This machine is a 3Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of ram.
I have two 1.5TB HDDs and they are both shared. Windows 7 after a few hours consistently drops the shares and I cant access them from my XBMC HTPC or even from the machine that the shares live on.
I have done lots of research and have changed a few registry keys but nothing has helped.
I got this from another forum and it didn't work
Is it possible that I need more memory dedicated to file shared or something? I have over 2TB of shared content.
I really want to fix this because I am tired of having to restart my computer each time I want to watch a video or listen to music.
Thanks,
David

Quote:Apparently you need to tell Windows that you want to use the machine as a file server and that it should allocate resources accordingly. Set the following registry key to ‘1':
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache
and set the following registry key to ‘3':
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size
After making these changes and restarting, I haven’t seen this issue arise again. Fixed!
