Article ID 315270 did not work for me

On the Intel site I checked my chipset using their utility, down loaded the
appropriate "Application Accelerator" and installed it.

This cleared up the problem.

SP2 and xp repair started my little anventure into this realm.

Wildbill:

I will try your suggestion. In the meantime, I moved up to 2 Gigs of RAM so
the system runs much better but I still get the "no pagefile" error on
startup.

I will let you know how I make out...
