This being Squid-2 it could be quite a lot of things that have long ago <br>
been solved and forgotten about. First thing to do is try an upgrade.<br>

Windows APIs used by Squid-2 have a hard limit that cannot be changed.<br>

In Squid-2:<br>
<br>
cache deny all<br>
cache_mem 0<br>
cache_dir /dev/null parent 0<br>
<br>
<br>
In modern Squid just remove any cache_dir you have.<br>

Squid-2 is HTTP/1.0 software which is 5+ years obsolete now.<br>
<br>
Go with the Diladele Squid-4, it is modern HTTP/1.1 software and most of <br>
the help you will be able to get relies on features only found in the <br>
Squid-3+ releases.<br>
