GOING CRAZY!!! HELP! PAGEFILE PROBLEM

[Denver]

I can't install any programs because they tell me, "not
enough disk space".

I have C: with 500MB free M: with 10GB free, and N: with
30GB free.

I had previously removed the swap file from C: and put it
on M: and N:. Everything seemed to be fine.

I read the tech docs for the program I am installing and
it said I MUST have a pagefile on C:. Great! I put the
page file on C: and remove it from the other 2 drives,
reboot, then I did't have enough memory for windows! I
recover it, and NOW have the pagefile on ALL 3 drives,
but guess what? I do a search for "pagefile.sys" and it
is on M: and N: but NOT on C:! WTF???
I look at technet, it tells me to make sure I have the
user "System" with full access on C:. I do that, NO
PAGEFILE! I check the REGISTRY and sure enough, it
correctly show a pagefile is SUPPOSED to be on all 3
drives! The settings are 190MB - 450MB.
What is the deal??? Why won't windows create a page file
on C:???
Thanks in advance.

I read the tech docs for the program I am installing and

it said I MUST have a pagefile on C:. Great!

I recommend to move this part into NUL. Pagefile.sys is managed by the
OS, not by a program. No program known to me is able to access
pagefile.sys directly.

Ciao, Walter

Yes, I know, but the problem, according to "Symantec" (Norton antivirus
corporate edition is the program), is that it is running out of memory, and
must have a pagefile on the C drive to install. Well, I don't know if that
is true, nor do I care right now. This has shown me there is a problem. I
can NOT get window to create a PAGEFILE on C:. Something is wrong.

Any ideas?
