No paging file or is too small

[Fred Marshall]

XP Pro
At boot time it gives the message:
"Your system has no paging file or the paging file is too small."
....approximately...

I have changed the paging file settings to no avail.
I have checked the user permissions to no avail.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Fred

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.
