Please Help!!!
Started getting message "paging file is too small"; for
some reason size is 20 mb ; had numerous attempts to
increase size - no success... Consulted Help files and I
am sure I did everything correctly(?). (And well - have
done that before too...) Paging file size is still 20mb.
In the meantime can't do much on my pc... Does anyone
know a way around?
Many thanks for help!

Usually occurs when the "Everyone" group permissions are removed from the
%systemdrive% Make sure that the System account (NT Authority) has full
control of the %systemdrive% and or the drive you're trying to put the
pagefile on. My Computer|Drive|File|Properties|Security|Permissions

The system account (nt authority) is the operating system's account and
needs to have full control of the drive(s) the pagefile exists on. The
system account is included in the "Everyone" group.
