Virtual memory paging file changed, XP ignores

[Shari]

When I boot, I'm getting an error that states there is no
paging file or it is too small. I went into Windows System
and boosted the file. I has the correct numbers listed in
the box at the top but at the bottom where it states
currently allocated, it still states "0". When I reboot as
directed, same error. The numbers are still allocated but
ignored. The allocation Windows is listing at the bottom,
instead is 2 mb min and 766 max.

HELP!!! I can't find anyplace in the knowledge data base
that has this error.

Try again! There are several articles discussing this in the "knowledge
base".

problems.

Good luck
