Paging File Error Messages

[Guest]

Running XP Home with SP 1 with 768 MB RAM on Intel P4 @ 2.66 GHz. This just started this afternoon when someone else was checking email on this system. Extremely long time for boot up. Recieve error that no paging file exists or is too small when I log on. Have tried all setups that I know of for setting the paging file size, but every time siz allocated comes up to 0 MB. The only way to get rid of error message is to select no paging file, but system is still slow. This has happened before, and I got so tired of trying different things that I wiped everything off the system and re-installed everything. Worked great until today.

Any help out there is greatly appreciated.

Make sure your hard drive has at least 3 times your RAM

of 768 mb for free space available. Run the disk cleanup
and disk defragmenter tools first, and or buy and install
a larger capacity hard drive.

I appreciate all the assistance, but nothing seems to be working yet. I even re-installed XP, but get the same results.
