pagefile error...

[Julius]

After entering login name and password for win2000 pro,
system will prompt a "low pagefile" or "no pagefile
present" message, is there anyway to adjust the pagefile
even though i'm unable to login into windows? maybe
through dos?

thanks in advance,

Usually occurs when the "Everyone" group permissions are removed from the
%systemdrive% Make sure that the System account (NT Authority) has full
control of the %systemdrive% and or the drive you're trying to put the
pagefile on. My Computer|Drive|File|Properties|Security|Permissions

The system account (nt authority) is the operating system's account and
needs to have full control of the drive(s) the pagefile exists on. The
system account is included in the "Everyone" group.

Hi Dave,
I'm even able to get through windows, is there anyway I
can set permissions through dos? possibly attrib?
thanks,

So is this correct that the permissions were changed? If so you might try
setting the drive permissions from a parallel install of the operating
system.
