This may be the best solution, as something has gone wrong big time. :2cents: Suggestion, Make sure all your data is backed up first. Dont simply format the drive, boot from the Windows DVD, when it gets to the options to where to install windows, actually delete both partitions, this WILL remove all previous data, programs and OS. When windows installs it will create two partitions, one being 100MB the other the remainder of the drive.	wainuitech (129)

Check the following settings: Open the Control Panel > System > On the Left, Advanced System Settings> Advanced Tab - under Performance Settings on the right will be the Setting Button, click that, Advanced Tab> ( make sure its set to programs) then Change Button. Make sure its set to Automatically Manage Page file -- These are the default setting -- Follow the red line below in the Picture: :D 5320 May be of Interest to Read (blog.shawnhyde.com) Hi Thanks for your help I did this and that cured it I did mention this in my 1st post = I don't know if its something to do with an error message about low on memory, googled that got rid of error message but can't remember and I have run ccleaner and its deleted my history, if that makes sense.	micky (7329)
1360321	2013-11-21 05:59:00	Good you got it sorted :) Just curious, after looking at the setting I posted previously,( and quoted) were they set to the defaults ? Looks like for some reason the Error message was caused by the OS / Pagefile creation mis-reading the amount of Memory installed. The picture posted looks more like it :thumbs:	wainuitech (129)

Pagefile too small is my guess How much RAM have you got & what size is the pagefile The often quoted pagefile= 2x RAM , is something from the Windows3 era , & is not really relevant nowadays , especially if you dont have enough RAM.	1101 (13337)
