Upon boot I receive a low on virtual memory. Go to adjust virtual memory and it's value is 0 and can not be changed. There is no pagefile.sys. Has anyone seen this and how is it fixed?

Hi

First try to give all information for a better answer.

What OS do you have?
Do you have administrator rights??
Have you try with the adminstrator local profile??

The OS is 2000 and XP. I am the Administrator, It also does the same thing in Safe Mode. Local profile does not change a thing. The pagefile.sys is missing and you can not change your virtual memory (which is set to 0) in the system.

I have two different machines. One is running Microsoft Windows XP Home and one is running Microsoft Windows 2000. Both machines (Windows 2000 and Windows XP) exhibit the same symptoms. The pagefile.sys is missing and the virtual memory can not be changed in the registry or the system properties.

I just ran into a very similar issue. Check your motherboard type. If you have an Intel board, you may need to install an accelorator for the board. Check out #316528 at Micorsoft knowledge base. Installing this fixed my virtual memory issue immediately.
