I reset it to 1024 and 4096 and rebooted, dialog no page file or page file
to small. Is there any way short of formatting and reinstalling XP to get
rid of pagefile.sys? I tried the recovery console but it won't let me log in
using the administrator password. I can login in safe mode using that
password, just not with the recovery console.

you had before and restart for effect.

I tried at the command prompt del pagefile.sys and it replied it couldn't
find it. I can't see it in Windows Explorer ever. I have View set to show
hidden and system files etc... but it never shows up. I have tried searching
for it and it never finds it. I tried attrib pagefile.sys and it doesn't
find it.

You'll need to get to the bottom of why you can't start the RC. You may need
to run chkdsk /r from the RC

I ask questions for a reason. You should take the hint. Non SP preinstalled computers cannot log on to R/C. You need boot floppies. So perhaps the flip who has ignored me may answer you if you ask to see if it is old and preinstalled.

It is pre-installed as I said in one of the posts it has a dell diagnostics
partition. I have bought dozens of PCs at work for our control systems. I
don't know of any manufacturer that sells a PC with out an operating system
pre-installed. This had Windows XP SP1 installed when I bought it. I have
used the recovery console on several of my pre-installed PCs at work. That
is why I ignored your comment.

Ok I understand now, the moron Dave Patrick has been snipping the thread so there can be no independent review of his actions.

Well after doing some extensive diagnostics on the disk drive it would appear
that the drive has a fatal flaw in an address track. It is a Western Digital
drive and fails to even read past a particular point. I have secured another
drive and will be reinstalling. Thank you for your assistance.

Set your page file to system managed size, and reboot, it should be fine, or
if not try 1.5 times the size of installed ram... nobody needs a two gig
pagefile..

Each time I boot my computer WinXP SP2, I recieve the following error: Your
system has no paging file, or the paging file is to small. I have followed
the instructions to increase the page file to 1024MB initial and 4096MB
maximum. It informs be that I need to reboot, I do. I recieve the same
error again, the file size on the C partion shows it to be 1024-4096, but at
the bottom it shows only 256MB temporary page file. How do I fix this.
