I had a web server running on Windows 2000, everyting was working fine....so I upgraded to windows XP pro, now IIS will not start, I get "

System Error 8: storage space unaviliable to process this command"

At first I felt this was a access problem so I check user access to run the services and everything was ok there< I have more then enough disk space so I knew this should not be the issues. At the Microsoft KB I found 3 articles with the above error message, one said re install service packs, being this is XP I re installed all the updates for XP and still had the same error, the other artical referenced a hkey key being over 32k, I check that key and it had the default values. I have not been able to find anything else to fix this, I had the firewall off and tried turning it on and alowing web traffic to no avail and uninstalled re installed IIS.

Anyone have any ideas where or what I should look at?

Thanks Paul

If its just a webserver then why not run it on linux?
or
If everything was working fine on win 2000 why would you upgrade? go back to win2k.
It is relatively easy to runup a linux box under apache with firewalling and never have any issues with the webserver failing or collapsing.
