Right click 'My Computer' and choose Properties.

Select the 'Advanced' tab.

Click 'Settings' under Performance.

Click the 'Advanced' tab.

Click the 'Change' button.

Either set a larger custom size, or let Windows manage it. Hit the 'Set' button, and restart.

I get the same thing Shane, but I only get it after my PC has been on for days. you probably dont have enough RAM to run without a paging file.

Yeah, I never had a chance to reply in the other post, but running without a paging file is a big no-no. That's not to say you wont gain a performance advantage, but the system would have to be pretty particular, and be designed to do a specific job. Being a gaming/home computer, Windows will need swap space!

Well you certainly couldnt do it with that little RAM. I have 2GB, and so far my system seems ok running without a swap file for the last week or so.

No, you can always set it back, so nothing is screwed up, just no place to put files windows may be using, hence, causing errors.
