Hi Goldie and :welcome:

Have you got the folder that you are trying to access "Shared" ?

Does the account you use to log on to the ME PC have a password?

XP is very fussy about who it connects to and will only speak to PCs with passwords set.

Also, make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on the ME PC.

Some other suggestions can be found here (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;826812&Product=winxp).

Have you got a firewall on each PC ?
If so make sure that you set them to allow the others LAN IP to access it  :)

Are you still getting exactly the same message ie not enough memory  ???
If so then me and Adept may be thinking along the wrong lines and it could be a problem on your ME pc  :(
What are the specs for the ME pc ?
