Can anyone else confirm this for me: the only references I find online refer
to known bugs in XP, not Vista.

Pulling a 3.18gb file over a wireless network (speed is not an issue) from a
linux SMB share, I recieve

"Error 0x800705AA: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the
requested service"

There's 40gb free on the destination disk, plus a spare core to handle the
copy, if needs be (based on previous copy performance...). A 3gb file is
created on my desktop, locked, then removed when I dismiss the error
message.

I tried to notify Microsoft of this problem, but it seems they want me to
pay another $92 dollars to tell them they left their pants down. Amazed that
on Vista, your 30 days of technical supports begins *when you activate*,
rather than when you actually need it. Bear that in mind, and don't activate
any new copies until a bug shows up!

Steve,

But I must comment and say that it is rediculous.
To copy a 'large' file over the network SHOULD NOT require users to use
another program such as XCOPY/ROBOCOPY (command based) or even th Robocopy
GUI.

What is the point of "Windows Explorer" if it can't even handle copying a
file over the network?

Also, the thread you reference goes on to provide a significant explanation
of 'hardware constraints', yet I've never experienced this problem/bug with
any previous version of Windows, nor in linux.
