I know this has been addressed before on this newsgroup but all the
answers/resolutions to the problem seemed to be addressed to computer
geeks.

Can anyone give this computer dork a simple resolution to getting rid
of this annoying message every time I'm on the PC for more than a
1/2-hour. It's driving me freakin' nuts!!!

Thanks to all who answer....
 
Hi Garry,

The resolution isn't so simple, so niether are the answers. Do you have
Intel Application Accelerator installed? If so, you need to uninstall it and
install the latest version. The older ones are incompatible with WinXP and
can cause this error message.

If not, then try this: Go to System properties/advanced/performance
settings/advanced tab/virtual memory change and disable the swap file.
Reboot. Delete all instances of pagefile.sys from all drives should any
exist, then reverse the original steps and reenable the swap file. Reboot
once more to finish. See if this helps.
