Use one of these three options.

Right Click the My Computer Icon/Properties/Advanced/
Performance/Settings/Advanced/Change.

1. Set Page File to 0, ok your way out and reboot. Then follow the same
procedure and reset the Page File to System Managed File.

2. No Page File. Reboot. Then delete C:\Pagefile.Sys then revert the page
file setting.

3. Set the swap file size to zero, reboot. Re-set to System Managed,
reboot. Reset the Custom setting, reboot.

Select the option "No paging file".

oh dear, I've just tried again and managed to delete the pagefile.sys.
however when I try to revert it needs figures in the custom size! What
should these be please???

use SYSTEM MANAGED instead of fixed size.

Just set it to system managed for now. Here is a link to a great article on
virtual memory in XP and setting the page file. You can go through this at
your leisure.
