no paging file problem *&!@

[DSA]

I upgraded to Windows XP Professional from Windows 2000 Pro
and I keep getting the "Limited Virtual Memory" your system has no
pagefile, or paging file is to small....

I have tried setting to no page file, user size and system manage.
The PC takes several minutes to boot and when it finally does it pops the
message up.
If I have it set to no page file, it will boot very quickly. I can never
find a pagefile.sys file
even when displaying hidden/protected files

I have searched and tried various recommnedations i found on the web and
nothing seems
to do it. Things I have tried:

Setting Permissions according to KB315270
Tried specifying a different pagefile in the registry
I have a Gigabyte Motherboard with VIA chipset, so its not the Intel
problem.
I currently am not loading any programs at startup
I have 384MB ram and 37GB free on the HD.

XP Professional SP2. anybody have any clues ?

For WinXP to run efficiently you need at least 512MB or Ram. That might be
your problem.
