Paging File Problem

[Guest]

My 2k Pro machine was working fine for about a month. All of a sudden I get an error message saying my pagefile is too small. I tried to change it manually in the Advanced tab of My Computer, Properties(it showed the current page file size is 20 Mb). It said due to an error in my page file configuration at startup, Windows has automatically created one for me. I rebooted and still the same problem. This happened at school a couple of months ago also on a 2k Pro machine so it can't be my installation. Is this a common problem? How can I fix it? Also I have the latest service pack installed. Thanks for your time.

get an error message saying my pagefile is too small. I tried to change it
manually in the Advanced tab of My Computer, Properties(it showed the
current page file size is 20 Mb). It said due to an error in my page file
configuration at startup, Windows has automatically created one for me. I
rebooted and still the same problem. This happened at school a couple of

========================

This is not a common problem; it is usually caused by one of the following:
- Insufficient free space on the designated drive;
- Inappropriate access restrictions on the chosen drive;
- The designated drive no longer exists.

To find out more on how to control these things, click Start / Help / Search
tab,
then type paging file and/or access permissions , then
select the
most appropriate subject.

Set the NTFS permissions on the drive where pagefile.sys resides to Everyone Full Permissions.
