Hi,

Disable the VM, reboot. If pafefile.sys still exists on any drive, delete
it. Reenable VM, set your custom settings if you like, reboot once more.

Also, if you have Intel Application Accelerator installed on this system,
uninstall it and upgrade to the newest version. Older versions are not
compatible with WinXP and are known to cause this issue.

Any advice given is my attempt to show appreciation for all
the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it
may only apply NUGS. Personal attacks, nitpicking & criticism
of anything but content will NOT be responded to. Those

Read up at www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm and the Problems section. One
likely cause is putting the page file on a different drive and not
leaving a nominal (2/50 MB say) on C:
