    Well you have provided very less details to find out the root cause of the problem. I want to know how many systems are connected with the server of yours. Well I want to let you know that if you are having 5 or more concurrent transaction then it won’t be done by the server. Maximum number of concurrent transaction in Windows 7 home premium is 5. So I want to know what number of concurrent transaction occurs at a time. I think above mentioned quick checks will help you out to solve your problem. So go ahead.

    Well I think you to edit the registry of your system. You have to learn your windows that you want to use the system as file server and windows should allocate resources for the same. You have to perform the following. Find the following registry and set the value as 1 for the same.
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache
    Make the value of the following registry as 3
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size
    Once you have done the following changes I think the problem will not persist.
