Hi All,

Since a couple of days, everytime I restart my machine I get a warning
message to let me know that Win XP could not create the pagefile file. I have
checked my settings and registry keys for pagefile size and location and
everythings seems ok:-
c:\pagefile.sys 2048 4096

I have enough space on my HD and I have defragmented it.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks

What do you make of the possibility of the discussion towards the end
of this thread as offering a solution?

Is your computer perhaps infested with any Norton/Symantec products? A
couple of these have recently been found to have been interfering with
user specified virtual memory settings.

Hi Gerry.

I only see a total of four posts including the original on this
thread. Are there others? They are not showing up on the Microsoft
news server.

Renaming the pagefile which exists but is not recognised by the
system?
