Paging File Problems

I have posted about this before but I have been unable to find a
solution, and I really need suggestions on how to fix the problem. I
have two drives, C: and D:, where C: is the boot drive and houses my
Windows XP operating system. My paging file is set to be on C:. This
is verified by going to Control Panel>System>Advanced Tab and checking
where the page file is set to be located. Unfortunately, the paging
file ALWAYS ends up being on D:. I have followed all of the standard
procedures, including setting no page file and deleting the page file
from D: and then restarting. Windows continues to put the page file on
D:. I have even checked the page file location in the registry, and it
is set to C: in the registry. I am confused!

I do not want the page file on D:. If D: is not accessible, the system
will not create a page file at all. D: may have once contained a
Windows XP installation. It's been awhile so I really can't recall.
What steps can I take to resolve this problem?

Thanks,
Bryan
 
Actually D: is where the page file should be acording to microsoft.
However if one must change it,when in advanced and selecting no page
file or whatever,you need to click set 2X for it to register.Then you can
close out,also,the page file isnt going to help the system being on C: only,
