Page File

Guest

Each time I boot my computer WinXP SP2, I recieve the following error: Your
system has no paging file, or the paging file is to small. I have followed
the instructions to increase the page file to 1024MB initial and 4096MB
maximum. It informs be that I need to reboot, I do. I recieve the same
error again, the file size on the C partion shows it to be 1024-4096, but at
the bottom it shows only 256MB temporary page file. How do I fix this.

I tried the suggestions made in that KB article, but still no go. It still
tells me: Your system has no paging file, or the paging fileis to small. I
made the changes in safe mode. There was already an administrators and
system group with full control. I unchecked the full control and rechecked
it and then apply for each group. I then changed the page file size on the C
drive to 4096 intial and 4096 maximum. The disk shows the page file size as
that, but the info at the bottom still only shows 256MB.

What was the last thing that was changed before the error? Check Event
viewer for error details.

Everything was working fine. I went out of town for a week. I shut
everything down and disconnected it from the power and the network. When I
powered everything back up, this page file error started. First thing I did
was run chkdsk. It didn't find anything. Started looking all over for
anyone with a similiar problem, but didn't really find anything other than
the security settings for the C drive which you pointed out earlier. The
only errors/warnings are some network stuff IPSec, QoS and something called
PAMPR5. Nothing else. The funny thing is, it runs just fine other than the
pop up during the login most of the time.

I followed the instruction in that KB article and it completed as described,
but when I rebooted I still get the same message about a missing or to small
page file.

From a command prompt;

echo %systemdrive%

then see if the drive letter matches
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
PagingFiles

Also Start|Run|diskmgmt.msc
and list the [volume], [status], and [free space] for all volumes listed.

How much free space do you have left on your drive?.. enough to create a
pagefile?..

echo %systemdrive% shows C:
which matches HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management
PagingFiles C:\pagefile.sys 1024 4096

Under Disk Management I have a basic FAT with no volume name that is the
Dell Recovery Partition. Status is healthy(EISA Configuration) 39MB capacity
34MB free space. Next is Volume C: Basic NTFS Status is Healthy(System)
111.72GB 75.56GB free space. Finally there is a CD as Volume Email(E:)
status Healthy, Capacity 573MB 573MB free space. Drive D: is a SD flash card
reader, but there isn't a card in there. Drive F is a DVD reader but again
no media there. I defragmented the drive and there is more than ample free
space to create a 4GB page file.

Well I'm at a loss. Seems everything is correct but it still appears the
system account (nt authority) does not have full control permissions on the
drive. I'm a little reluctant to pull out the big guns (subinacl.exe) You
might want to call product support on this one.

The pagefile may be corrupt. You can change the pagefile Initial Size and
the Maximum Size to 0, restart for effect, then set the values back to what
you had before and restart for effect.

I set it to 0 and 0 and rebooted no error when I restarted, but no page file.
I reset it to 1024 and 4096 and rebooted, dialog no page file or page file
to small. Is there any way short of formatting and reinstalling XP to get
rid of pagefile.sys? I tried the recovery console but it won't let me log in
using the administrator password. I can login in safe mode using that
password, just not with the recovery console.

When you set it to 0 and 0 and restarted did you try deleting it?

I tried at the command prompt del pagefile.sys and it replied it couldn't
find it. I can't see it in Windows Explorer ever. I have View set to show
hidden and system files etc... but it never shows up. I have tried searching
for it and it never finds it. I tried attrib pagefile.sys and it doesn't
find it.

You'll need to get to the bottom of why you can't start the RC. You may need
to run chkdsk /r from the RC

I ask questions for a reason. You should take the hint. Non SP preinstalled computers cannot log on to R/C. You need boot floppies. So perhaps the flip who has ignored me may answer you if you ask to see if it is old and preinstalled.

It is pre-installed as I said in one of the posts it has a dell diagnostics
partition. I have bought dozens of PCs at work for our control systems. I
don't know of any manufacturer that sells a PC with out an operating system
pre-installed. This had Windows XP SP1 installed when I bought it. I have
used the recovery console on several of my pre-installed PCs at work. That
is why I ignored your comment.
