shadow copy error

[vinifera]

I have Volume Shadow copy service disabled yet in Event viewer i constantly get this under volsnap Event ID 36

The shadow copies of volume C: were aborted because the shadow copy storage could not grow due to a user imposed limit.

Event Data:

0000 00 00 00 00 02 00 30 00 00 00 00 00 24 00 06 C0 ......0.....$...

0010 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................

0020 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........

naturaly MS web page was totally useless

how do I stop this thing ?

(using Win7 pro SP1)

Maybe these help more , if I get it right the idea is to DISABLE the thingy, NOT to give it enough space.

Thanks jaclaz! I think you're right

I've updated my last post about adding more space. Thanks for your understanding!

aaah thanks !!!

can't believe so much mess around that tiny thing

also noticed that in CMD I wasn't able to put value in MB's even if help said KB and MB allowed

also noticed minimum allowed size could be set to 2% and not 1%
