Your System Has No Paging File, or the Paging File Is Too Small

I had some kind of blue screen error and had to repair the windows
installation. I essentially went through a re-install and afterwards, I
get
the above error.

I found a couple articles. One about NTFS permissions which I checked and
are correct. The other was something about Intel chipsets which I don't
believe I have the chipsets mentioned.

The Performance settings show that a page file is set on the C: drive (the
only drive) however it shows the size is actually zero.

I've installed all the updates, removed and re-added the page file. I'm
not
sure how to make it come back.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much.

I guess u talk about WinXP?
However, set the paging file to system-managed or whatever it is called in your
OS.
Then after the reboot it usually is 1.5 times the ram size.

Unfortunately....the system won't create the paging file. Once I get can
get one, I'll be happy...and consider optimizing it. But at the
moment...it
is failing to create the file. See the following document for my problem.
Perhaps I'm missing something in the link you gave me.

It is probably a permission error of some kind! I have seen this exact
problem when the "Everyone" group is denied access to the "C" drive. Since
you reinstalled, maybe some of the permissions are screwed up.
