I am running a DELL Dimension 4300 with 512 RAM. With
current XP updates.

Everytime I restart my system I get an error message that
my pagefile.sys either does not exist or is too small. I
have followed the instructions to fix the problem, but it
does not "get fixed". This has been going on for 2+
months, and I am out of ideas.

Any ideas on how I can create the file?
 
Hi Jim,

We ran across a situation similar to this before. In that case, a customer
with a Dell system that came with the Dell OEM version of Windows XP Home
Edition upgraded it to the retail version of Windows XP Professional
Edition. The Dell OEM version installs a Dell-specific piece of software
(the Intel Application Accelerator). In the previous issue, this software
did not work properly after the upgrade. To correct the problem, the
customer booted into Safe Mode and uninstalled the Intel Application
Accelerator (from Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs). I hope this helps.

Best regards,
