My System is not setting up its paging file for some
reason. When the system loads my settings, I get the
error message "your virtual memory paging file is to
small" when I try to manually set the file size, it
appears to make the change, but when I reboot, the
problem re-occurs.

Does anyone know what I should do?
Your help would be greatly appreceated

After you set the paging file size are you
clicking "set" before you click ok to exit?

pagefile.sys file anywhere in the root.

I've tried to do a repair install, that didn't work
either.

See MVP Alex Nichol's article on virtual memory in Windows XP at

problems.

Good luck
