paging file

[Hammer]

I reloaded windows XP using the REPAIR console trying to fix severa
errors on the machine. I'm running a 1.5mhz Pentium 4 with 256 mg o
rambus memory on an Intel board. Everything seemed to go just fin
except for an error message telling me that my paging file is to small
I've tried to reset it but that doesn't seem to work. In other words th
system is not accepting the change. As a resualt it almost always take
10 minutes exactly to load window. Has anyone some ideas? Have
provided enough information?
Thanks
Hamme

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring Task Manager and select the Process Tab.
What is the Commit Charge? Two figures divided by backslash.

Have you ever downloaded any memory boosters or the like? Some web sites
can offer these and it can be easy to accept the offer when they are
best declined!

Has the hard disk been partitioned?

Try Start, Run, type regedit and hit OK. Then find the following in the
Registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management

What is the data shown for the "Pagingfiles" key? Do NOT try changing
anything in the Registry!

How is your hard disk formatted? FAT32 or NTFS?

Do you have the Intel Application Accelerator installed? If yes what
version? Select Start, Control Panel, Add/ Remove
Programs. There were problems associated with early versions.

Hope this helps.
