Add more ram XP likes as much as you can give it but I would have 512 for a minimum. Also make sure you know what programs are running in the background.

That is your main problem right there. I'm guessing that you have 4 partitions each of 1 gig. Well with xp your swap file is going to be on your c drive unless you put it somewhere else. Wich I doubt. Anyway as you alread have your entire windows folder on your c drive along with your documant and pictures and music and whatnot you are running very low on disk space on that drive. you need to upgrade t o a larger drive or get rid of some of the stuff on the c drive. Either delete it or move it to another partition or drive. The best answer to your question is to get another hard drive. Just remember to not pay much more than 1 dollar per gig. anything over that is just price gouging.

The message can occur if you have been fiddling with NTFS permissions and have removed SYSTEM priviliges to your paging drive. See:
