Solve : page file error?

1.	Solve : page file error?
Answer» I've GOT a system (Win2000Pro SP4, 1G Crucial Ram, PIV 3.0g Intel CPU, 80 Samsung hdd, Asus P4s800 mb) that the page file can't be resized because there isn't enough room on the hard drive. I KNOW this not to be true because the drive has at least 60g FREE space. It's also running Norton06 I just replaced the motherboard last Friday (exact replacment from Asus as it was under warranty). Here are some of the remedies I've found doing a Google search: The page file has become corrupt, possibly at a bad shutdown. In the Virtual Memory settings, set to “No page file,” then exit System Properties, shut down the machine, and reboot. Delete PAGEFILE.SYS (on each drive, if more than just C:), set the page file up again and reboot to bring it into use. By default, the Everyone GROUP has Full Control permissions on an NTFS volume. This permission might have been removed to provide additional security. Individual accounts, such as the Administrator account, may have been added. However, the Everyone group includes the System account. Removing the Everyone group without adding the System account as an individual account renders the paging file unusable. Open Control Panel - System - Add/Remove Programs and look for an entry for the Intel Application Accelerator. If it is listed then select it and click on Add/Remove to uninstall it. Reboot the computer and your problem should be resolved. One other suggestion was that Norton LiveUpdate could be causing the problem. I'm very tempted to remove NAV altogether and put on AVG (my fav) ;D Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Alan <>< :DOn the My Computer, right click your harddrive and click properties. On the tools, perform error checking AND defragmenting. On error check, scan for bad sectors will take a long time, so don't do it first time round, then if problem persists perform it with this option enabled. Then undertake the first suggestion. If the computer doesn't reboot after removing the pagefile, start in safemode. That is, press F8 REPEATEDLY as your computer starts up.Thanks Neil. I put the Security account on the C:\ and that fixed the problem. Alan <><
