No Paging File....

[Emmett]

Your system has no paging file........ message.
XP Pro crashed earlier today, froze running windows
updates. Manually shut down and got blue screen error on
start up. Could not start in any mode. Ran "R"epair and
got system back up, but sloooooowwwww. Then got Paging
File message. Went into system, advanced etc. and it
showed paging file 0. Have tried to set several times
(500 and 500 or 382 & 500, etc.) but upon reboot, same
message, same problem.

accelerator www.intel.com However this is only for intel chipsets!

Thanks Harry and Kelly!
I found an article on the intel chip set last night
before your posts and ran the accelerator. You were right
on, Harry, that cured paging file problem. Machine still
a little slow, so I am goin to try some of Kelly's
suggestions. I really do appreciate you guys - that take
time to help out!
