Win 2k page file problem at boot

B

brian

I have a win2k computer that developed a problem at boot.
Right after entering the user name and password I get a
dialog window stating that the paging file is set too
small or is not present. Please fix this. When I check the
paging file size it is set to the default 1.5X the system
ram for minimum and 3X for the maximum. I have changed the
paging file to many different sizes and then click the set
button and reboot. System still gives the same error.

Has anyone ever seen this before?

Thanks

Brian

Usually occurs when the "Everyone" group permissions are removed from the
%systemdrive% Make sure that the System account (NT Authority) has full
control of the %systemdrive% and or the drive you're trying to put the
pagefile on. My Computer|Drive|File|Properties|Security|Permissions

The system account (nt authority) is the operating system's account and
needs to have full control of the drive(s) the pagefile exists on. The
system account is included in the "Everyone" group.
