I am trying to map a windows 98 machine to a cd drive on another machine running windows XP pro. I can successfully map to any of the hard drive partitions but not the cd drive.

When I try to map the drive it comes back with a "Not enough storage space to process this command" error.

The same windows98 machine can successfully map to cd's on machines running Windows 98, OS/2, Win 2k, Win Nt.

Any ideas?

Probably on the XP comp, it has security feature that disable sharing CD-ROM to another comp. If you have access and admininistrator permission on that comp, you can change it.
On XP comp, Right-click on CD-ROM and choose Properties, then Sharing. Click on <b>share this folder</b>.

:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

Yep that was it. The solution was so obvious that I hadn't even bothered to check to see if sharing was enabled. I just assumed that I had done it.

Thanks for you help.
