has no paging file or the paging file is too small to fix problem blah, blah." It doesn't matter where I set the size, whether it's system managed, custom, what size custom, or what hard drive it's on, the same message appears on every reboot.

His system is a HP m7640n AMD X2 5000 2GB Ram 320 WD HD I know this is a home-built newsgroup but any help would be appreciated. grizz |

There sure are a lot of HP users having problems with their

You mentioned a 320 gig drive, but if it is partitioned so that there is only a few gigs available on the boot (typically c) drive, you will get this message after you fill up that partition (or the entire drive for that matter) with junk. I seem to remember from past experience that windows will allow you to set a page file that is larger than the space available for it and that you will get this message should your drive fill up. I know that I had a similar problem after not allocating enough space on my boot partition due to not anticipating all of the security updates that came around over the last few years. ...and is the pagefile actually on the disk? ...and if you clear the error message are further problems evident?

You could try turning off system restore. Boot to Safe Mode, login as Administrator, assign a pagefile size, save and reboot. Because of the install - repair I installed a different A-V. The new found a virus the old one had missed. But I don't know the real cause of the paging file block. And I tried a bunch of stuff including importing and creating a new c:/pagefile.sys |
