    Apparently you need to tell Windows that you want to use the machine as a file server and that it should allocate resources accordingly.  Set the following registry key to ‘1′:

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache

    and set the following registry key to ‘3′:

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size

    After making these changes and restarting, I haven’t seen this issue arise again

    Thanks krbaugh, I was so frustrated with this and hopefully I will not get disconnected on the network again. I have mapped a drive on my XP machine and the software is running on Windows 7 Pro. My XP was accessing all other computers but not the Windows 7. I will post if that error comes back or I get disconnected to access that mapped drive.

    krbaugh, thank you so much! I had a Windows 7 system that just kept crashing with this event log error. I followed your instructions and it is working great! You are a life saver!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had the problem with XP machines being locked out of a Windows 7 pseudo file server that would only resolve with a reboot of the win 7 machine.  A Microsoft engineer advised that I needed to run the 'file server' in safe mode or clean boot mode to try and find what software program was causing the issue.  Luckily I decided instead to just look through the event viewer, and I found this very Event ID at times that I knew the xp machines had been kicked out of the server.  I've just done the registry edit, and fingers crossed, we'll have no further issues with the network.

    I knew this needed to be done from prior experience but forgot to note the specifics.  Thanks for the concise, helpful post that Google turned up easily with the search string:

    nonpaged pool allocation limit windows 7

    Thank you krbaugh for your contribution.

    I would just like to add that on a "client" machine this error seams to appear if one has at least one "Maped Network Drive" that dose no longer exist. This is not to be mistaken for a disconnected drive! The client is desperately attempting to reach the drive, which it believes to still be their. I am not sure if the Registry edits you proposed help the client to stop looking for drive(s) that no longer exist.

    I can also confirm that QuickBooks error code 6150 and 1006 can be cause directly by multiple disconnects from the QuickBooks server. The user account was corrupted so I had to recreate it and I was also seeing (Event 4 QuickBooks-Event Viewer). The above fix took care of the connection issues and user accounts are no longer being corrupted.

    Thanks for the post it saved me a lot of time on the phone having a useless conversation with Intuit.
