virtual memory problems

[Stan]

Anyone know how to get xp to use the virtual memory
settings? Everytime I reboot my two xp machines, xp tells
me I don't have a paging file. What's more I have set it
many times and have done everything in the microsoft
knowledge base.

One machine I upgraded form NT, but the other machine is
brand new.

Can anyone help me correct this problem?

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.

Also see MVP Alex Nichol's article on virtual memory in Windows XP at
http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm especially the section dealing with
problems.

Good luck

"The reason computer chips are so small is computers don't eat much."

I removed the Intel Application Accelerator, rebooted but
got the same problem.

Then I downloaded and installed the latest version from
intel.com, rebooted but still have the same problem. No
paging file or the paging file is too small.

By the way, I didn't install the Intel Application
Accelerator until after I found that suggestion in the
microsoft knowledge base. In other words, I had the
paging file problem before I ever had the Intel
Application Accelerator.

I've had the paging problem ever since upgrading to xp pro
from nt.

I will look into ALex Nichol's article on virtual memory.
Any other suggestions?

Well, I have tried everything on Alex Nichol's problem
list except for the IDE hard disk controller driver. I
have a concern about doing that since there is only one
hard drive in my machine.

Nothing seems to work. Unless someone else has an idea, I
guess I am stuck with windows xp with no virtual memory.
Ugh! My machine is so slow now.

Something else of interest. I don't even have a
pagefile.sys on my machine anywhere. And, yes, I am
showing hidden system files.

This is crazy.

HELP!

Is your hard disk(s) partitioned? How many hard disks?

No. It's not partitioned. There is only 1 hard drive.
