Hey All, I have this problem and hope someone can help me.

I installed windows XP Pro on my PC about 8-9 months ago and everything was fine. Then two days ago I switched on the PC to be told my an error message that my computer had a problem with the paging file and that I should go to control panel to set paging file.

I went into control panel and set paging file to computer managed and also tried a variety of number from minimum of 190 MB to later on Maximum of 800 MB. Having restarted the computer as told the settings don't seem to stick ( in that on the paging file setting section it says "paging file size of C: is 0 )

I went into safe mode and used Spybot , adware and reg cleaner but it hasnt resolved the issue.

I tried to run virus scanner Trend micro online scanner and even tried to install AVG but they don't work as they shut down automatically as lack of memory.

Iv looked at the memory usage as someone mentioned that something may be leaking memory but on the memory usage but the biggest user of memory is IEexplorer.


What else can I tell you, On spybot I found something called Smitfraud-C and spybot removed it.

Not really sure what more to try so hope someone can resolve my problem.
