paging file size, virtual mem

[jacksplat]

i just upgraded from 2k to xp and when i start up xp it says i have no paging file. so i went in to the virtual memory setup and it says my file size is 384-768. my other drive didn't have any set so i figured i might as well set it to be the same. rebooted, got the same error. i then set all teh drives to let windows manage. same error. I'm sure its nothing a format and fresh install wouldn't fix, but I'd rather not do that. any ideas?

You Receive a "System Has Recovered from a Serious Error" Message After Every Restart (Q317277)

The bottom paragraph refers to the paging file.


Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q316528 contains:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q316/5/28.asp

"When you start your computer after you upgrade to Windows XP, the performance may be slow and you may receive an error message similar to the following:

Limited Virtual Memory.
Your system has no paging file, or the paging file is too small. "


This worked for somebody on this forum with a similar problem.
