pagefile.sys is too small or not present
|
|
|
| Hello,
I recently got a new drive and installed it as second hard drive in a Windows 2000 pro system. Once I login with my password it says my pagefile is not present or to small and explains how to change it. However after I hit ok it logs me out back to the login screen and goes in a chain reaction. I tried safe mode and it does that also.
I checked and my pagefile and it was there so that's not the problem. Is there another way i can get into the system? Or is there some dos program that can make a larger swapfile for me? Any ideas would be appreciated... Thanks | |

| The message says your pagefile is too small and it create a temp for you, with about 20 MB or something like that. You can modify it but after reboot, same message appears.
Check that you are logged on as Administrator or user that have full rights. This is something to do with permissions. Do a search in microsoft support site, and you will get a detailed explaination of what is going on.
I was hit with this before on Win2K machine where my user removed all user except himself, but not giving himself full rights. Smart Alex.
Hope to hear good news from you.
Have a wonderful day ahead. | |
