CIFS mount problem on Linux, Error 12, can't allocate memory error

There is a workaround for this which is in the link below.

What worked however is this:

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters /v Size /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f
sc stop  LanmanServer
sc start LanmanServer

Will have to research and update link with whatever is being done, but this worked for mounting my Google driver server windows 7 system.

Windows Xp so far has not shown the problem.  Other options have been necessary too, this is just the latest.

Occured on a Cubox debian Wheezy system on 3/27/2017 for me.

Notes on disabling pad when USB mouse is plugged in

How To Turn Off Touchpad When Mouse Is Connected In Windows 10/7/8.1

Earlier this year, I talked about configuring Mac OS X to automatically disable the trackpad when a mouse is connected to the MacBook. This feature comes in handy for those users who always use a mouse and don’t want to use the built-in trackpad after connecting the mouse.
In Windows operating system, a graphical option to automatically turn off the touchpad when a mouse is connected can be found under Mouse Properties in Control Panel. In addition to that, if you’re running Windows 8.1 with the recently released August Update, you can now configure Windows 8.1 to automatically turn off the touchpad when a mouse is connected to your netbook or notebook right from PC settings.
If you’re using a notebook or netbook equipped with ELAN or Synaptics touchpad, an option labelled Disable internal pointing device when a mouse is connected should appear under Mouse Properties.\
Following are the steps you need to follow in order to automatically disable touchpad when a mouse is connected in Windows 10, 8/8.1 and Windows 7.

Turn off touchpad when mouse is connected using Control Panel

Method 1 of 4
For Windows 10
Step 1: Open Settings, click Devices icon and then click Mouse & touchpad.
Step 2: Under Touchpad section, turn off the option labelled Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected.
Method 2 of 4
(This method should work fine on Windows 10, Windows 7, and Windows 8/8.1)
Step 1: Open Control Panel by navigating to Start menu and then clicking Control Panel.
Step 2: Change the default View to Small icons. Look for the entry named Mouse and click on the same to open Mouse Properties.
Step 3: Switch to the ELAN or Device Settings tab and look for an option titled Disable when external USB pointing device plug in or Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached. Check the same option and then click Apply button. That’s it!
If the above option isn’t present and you’re laptop is using Synaptics touchpad, you can try out the given below instructions to see the above mentioned option.
Method 3 of 4
NOTE: We recommend you create a backup of Registry before changing default entries.
Step 1: Open Registry Editor. To do so, open Run command by simultaneously pressing Windows + R keys, type Regedit.exe in the field followed by enter key.
Click on the Yes button when you see the UAC prompt.
Step 2: In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPEnh
Step 3: On the right-side, create a new DWORD value and rename it as DisableIntPDFeature. Finally, change its value to 33 (make sure that Hexdecimal is selected under Base section).
Step 4: Close the Registry Editor and reboot your PC to see Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is connected option. Good luck!
Method 4 of 4
Disable touchpad when mouse is connected in Windows 8.1
Step 1: Open PC settings. To do so, move the mouse cursor to the upper or lower right corner of the screen to see the Charms bar, click Settings and then click Change PC settings option.
Step 2: On the left-pane of PC settings, click PC and devices, and then click Mouse and touchpad.
Step 3: Here, on the right-side, look for the option titled Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected and turn off the same to automatically turn off the touchpad when you connect a mouse to your Windows 8.1 notebook or netbook. That’s it!

SVChost in a loop eating the cpu

microsoft blog entry on how to diagnose or attack svchost service processes eating the cpu problems

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askperf/2009/04/10/prf-high-cpu-svchost-exe/

svchost is a process that has many services run as an aggregate inside each of the svchost processes you see in taskmanager.

There is no internal accounting for the services attached to the svchost process, so other means are required if one of them is eating the cpu.  The means is to use a shell command for each service to force it into a separate svchost bucket on startup.

The Blog entry link has analysis and troubleshooting methods outlined as well.  The commands to break out the processes is copied from the blot into this entry below for future reference.  Looking @ what svchost arises in the reconfigured system when rebooted will usually tell you what service is broken, and either the full blog entry will suggest a fix, or you can google for that service eating the cpu and see if there is a remedy.

Be sure to run cmd.exe as administrator, that isn't mentioned in this, unless other means are used.  sc command must be admin or have authority to reconfigure the service (if not admin owned) or you won't get far.

Some services won't reconfigure, in which case you will have to remove all the services from that svchost (as determined by using the taskmanager) and run what is left.



Description:  SVCHOST.EXE is a generic host process for services. There can be multiple SVCHOST.EXE running on a system and each SVCHOST.EXE can also hold multiple services. Troubleshooting high CPU usage with SVCHOST.EXE can difficult since Task Manager or Performance Monitor cannot show which service inside the SVCHOST.EXE is causing the issue.



Scoping the Issue:  The first step is to identify the Process ID (PID) of the SVCHOST.EXE that is pegging the CPU.  This can be done through Task Manager->Processes tab. If the PID column is not present, you can add it by selecting View->Select Columns and check the PID checkbox.  Once the PID is identified, the next step is to determine which services are running under the PID. From a Command Prompt, type:

TASKLIST.EXE /SVC

TASKLIST.EXE will list all the processes and PID’s running on the system. Look for the PID in question and check the Services column. This will give you a list of Services to start investigating.  If it is not clear which Service inside the SVCHOST.EXE process is causing high CPU usage, the next step is to isolate the service into its own SVCHOST.exe container. You can use ‘SC CONFIG’ to do this. From a Command Prompt type:

sc config <service name> type= own

Do this for each service inside the SVCHOST.EXE in question. Restart the service and it will start in its own SVCHOST.EXE.

To revert the service back to its original state, type the command:

sc config <service name> type= share

Please note that resetting SVCHOST.EXE configuration via the share command will require a system reboot.
