Guest Joe Medford Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Every time I start a friends XP Home SP2 machine, it says that it can not create the pagefile. I have checked the security settings of the C drive, and it appears to be ok. have changed some of the security settings for the page file and it did not resolve the issue. Any ideas? Thanks
Guest R. McCarty Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: Windows can't create PageFile Plenty of Free Space ? - check to see if there is a pre-existing Pagefile.Sys that may have been orphaned. Which security software ( AV /Firewall ) is being used. Is the drive which should have the pagefile free of error(s)>? If the pagefile cannot be created, how did you modify security settings for the Pagefile ?

Guest Joe Medford Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: Windows can't create PageFile 1- There is about 15-20G available 2- There is no Pagefile.SYS file located in the root of C: only 1 drive letter. 3- There is NO av program currently installed, Verizon FIOS install an AV program which has since been removed. The drive has been scanned with both OneCare and Norton without it finding anything. 4-The drive appears to be free of errors, check disk is not finding anything 5- I booting into safe mode and brought the properties of C: and made sure system & admin has full permission, I also booted into WinInternations, and reset the permisions. All did not resolve the issue. "R.
