Win2k VPN and file server:
Upon rebooting, error message indicates the pagefile.sys is corrupt or missing and Win2k has set up a temporary paging file of 20 MB.
Reseting this option, is temporary until the next user logs on.
Any ideas or fixes would be appreciated.
Thanks,
J

I had performed a scan initially to verify integrity and all disks came up clean.
Had allocated same size pagefile to another drive and still received the same error message. Thanks for your suggestions

Check to make sure you have enough free disk space and then go into System Properties -> Advanced -> Performance Options and click on change. Make sure you set the page file after telling it what size it is.
If that doesn't work, try setting it to 0 and reboot, then change it back to the amount you want and reboot again and see if that fixes it.

Was aware of resetting pagefile to zero but needed to give it a shot. It still rebooted but with only 20MB in the sys file.
Tracked down a concurrent problem with installing sp3 and it's apparent corruption of the M$ Installer. Not only was the pagefile corrupt but we could no longer install or uninstall any programs. We suspected a virus but scans came up clean. The server has been rebuilt due to lack of adaquate time to resolve the issue through discovery. Thanks for your help
