I have several users who get the above message when browsing to Network
Shared Folders or mapped drives.
We run a mixture of Windows XP SP2 and SP3.
I've tried everything I can find on google, but nothing makes any difference.
Closing IE8 windows seems to help
 
Apparently my typing skills suffered when writing the title.
It should say:

I upped mine to 18 (from the default of 15) but don't recall why after doing
it many years ago.
 
The problem is not on the machine accessing the file it is on the
machine serving the files. Change the IRPStackSize on the machine that
is hosting the shared folder.

I would've thought Microsoft's KB article would've mentioned on which host
to modify the IRPStackSize value but it doesn't. Other articles are more
clear as to WHERE you change this value, like:

The "server" is whatever host is serving the file to requests over the
network.
 
That's all well and good. But, this problem doesn't occur for everybody, only
a couple of people. I would have thought that if it was the IRP stack,
everybody would experience this issue?

Also, once I close IE 8 altogether, the problem goes away
 
It all depends on what is running on the machine, no two machines are
the same. Certain antivirus software if often responsible for the problem.
