Helo,
I just upgrade my system fron Windows 2000 to WindowXP professional. At sartup the system says that it dont have a page file. Main memory is 512 MB and I try to define a page file of 768-1500 MB There is enough space on disk (I try on several).

I read somewhere that this problem may be related to IDE driver. My mainboard is ABIT KT7A Raid with VIA IDE controler. I try to update drivers with hyperion 4in1449v, but after this the IDE driver is already a Microsoft one.

In register, the pagefile is correctly defined, but the file is never created.

When I start large application as Premiere, the system try to expand pagefile but failed and the application is killed.

Any advice or solution to this problem ?
No problem at all under W2000

Thank in advance for your help
 
It's not a hardware problem. It's a Windows XP problem caused by upgrading over an existing installation. A clean install to a formated disc is always best. MS has some suggested fixes:

did you take a look over at www.microsoft.com and go to the Knowledge Base under Support and see if they have anything?
 
take a look at Knowledge Base article #315270 and see if that has any helpful hints...
 
This is an example of how unused the MS knowledge base is. There is actually a lot of really good information in there, if you just look. I have seen a lot of problems in here that could have been answered by someone taking just a few minutes to search the knowledge base. If I am having a problems with Windoze or any MS product, that is the first place I head to...
 
I visit there on a very regular basis on my own even when I'm not looking on behalf of others...
