Hello, this is an XP question. I was having issues with XP so I did a
reinstall. [ugh] the root of all my new troubles. I'd loaded the automatic
updates, including the express service pack 6 etc. So I backed out and
reloaded XP [twice now]

Ever since I did this I get a paging file error. It says that I don't have
any or too low allocated. So I follow instructions and change the custom
settings in the performance area of the system file, reboot and it still
says that I have no paging file/virtual memory allocated. I've done this 5
times. My changes don't keep.

I even did another full system XP restore, and the same thing happens. XP
support won't help me. I've scoured the knowledge base, nothing.

I could do a clean reboot, but I'd lose everything on my system. Web files
etc. I would back them onto a cd now, but the system is sooooo slow. I've
got most things backed up anyway, but it would take me a full day to load
all my programs. And even then would it fix this virtual memory issue? The
xp reload as a repair did not fix it.

please help and thank you

Click to expand...


Open Control Panel - 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.

And if the Intel Application Accelerator was installed then you should
go to www.intel.com and download the latest version of the Intel
Application Accelerator and install it.

If this does not resolve the issue then see MVP Alex Nichol's article
on virtual memory management in Windows XP at
http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm especially the section dealing with
problems.

Good luck
