Mapped Network Drive Error - "Not Enough Memory"

>>cannot access the folder they were connected too

Please DEFINE "cannot access".  Is there some error message or code?  If so, what is it?

The error message is what I stated in the Title.  My apologies for not including it in the text.  The error message pops up that there is not enough memory in the accessing computer, I have checked everything to make sure that the memory on the networked computers is OK.  I believe that it has to do with my system and a possible corrupt file.  Not sure how to clean it up.

How about some ADDITIONAL information here?  So we know you have a "LAN with 5 computers...".  That's hardly descriptive.

I'm not in the mood to play "20 questions".  

You're being ambiguous...

OS : Win9x,WinNT4 workstation, Windows XP pro ?



Some ideas :

- Verify the "share"  (Right click on the folder)
- Verify the "rights" (Right click on the folder)
- Verify the name of your workgroup

- Network : protocole : TCPIP / Netbui protocol ? Verify settings.
- Can you "ping" others PC ? (ms dos mode - ping ip_address)

Thanks for the tips.  First time poster and learning the ropes.  I am running XP and I have tried everything suggested in the comment from frache.  I can ping other computers and all of the settings for each computer are correct.  keep asking questions if I am forgetting something.  thanks

- Memory size on your PC ?
256 Mo is, my opinion, the minimal size to run Windows XP.

Can you access to the shared folder with network neighbourhood icon ? Can you see the file ? size of file ?

(To display this icon on the Windows XP desk, do a right click on "start button" and choose "classic desk")

- Antivirus ? disable it and make a try ...
- Antivirus : scan all PC with an updated antivirus.

Have you removed the Network card from the Device Manager and let it redetect/reinstall again?

Win XP pro ?
Make a try using the administrator login ...

3. When installing NAV and other antivirus programs, they alter a registry key that XP depends on for simple network tasks. To resolve this behavior, increase the IRPStackSize value on the server: Click Start , and then click Run . Type regedt32 , and then click OK . Navigate to the following key:
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
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:
In the Parameters folder of the registry, right-click the right pane. Point to New, and then click DWord Value. Type IRPStackSize.
IMPORTANT: Type "IRPStackSize" exactly as it is displayed because the value name is case-sensitive.
Change the Base to decimal. 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. Close the Registry Editor. 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 (0x32 hex)"

This is what fixed my problem.  Thank you so much for you help.  Thank you everyone who lended advise and help.  But Pete is the man.
