Unable to set virtual memory using XP

[Chuck Bisson]

I get the message "Windows created a temporary paging
file on your computer because of a problem that occured
with your paging file configuration when you started your
computer. The total paging file for all disk drives may
be somewhat larger than the size you specified."
I tried to change the setting in control panel; both by
defining several size ranges and by allowing the system to
choose. I tried without a pagefile.
Any helpers on how to get the virtual memory
ocnfigured? The pc is used at my office and most users do
not know that the message is hidden behind the login
wallpaper, so they say the pc does not boot up (they
cannot see the OK button).
Thanks in advance.
Chuck

Yes, I checked here - the problem is that this procedure
does not work on my pc. I cannot generate
pagefile.sys !!! How else can I resolve the problem?
