Virtual Memory - Paging File Creation Error

[Konstantin]

I have recently been having some problems with my virtual
memory.

Some time ago I suddently got a message (after a computer
restart right after the welcome screen) saying that
either I did not have virtual memory or I had very little
amount of virtual memory. I went to system properties,
clicked the performance tab and got a message:

"Windows created a temprorary paging on your computer
because of a problem that occured with your paging file
configuration when you started your computer. The total
paging file size for all disk drives may be somewhat
larger than the size you specified"

I went to C drive and for some reason there was still no
page file. Later I went back to virtual memory options
and found out that the settings are set properly - 766
megabytes min and about 1200 maximum. I clicked apply,
got a message to restart the computer and the same thing
happened again - got the error message after the welcome
screen...

Somebody please help me with this...

P.S. There is surely no paging file in my system becasue
as soon as I go over my memory limit and don't have any
free memory left, the programs just close themselves...

Have you selected the option to let XP manage the pagefile? got plenty
of free HD space?

have also tried that "let windows manage the pagefile"
option.. nothing works
