Page file performance options - problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

I have a problem which occurred recently from two Windows 2000
installations. Upon logon each produce an error that the Paging File is to
small, (where a temporary 20 MB paging file is created). The problem is ...
that the old settings are being stored (under the Performance Options) but
no page file is being created. There is ample hd space. I tried changing the
paging file drive and size (and creating two paging files on two drives),
upon reboot the same error message is being produced ...

After changing the paging file size from the Performance Options a paging
fie is created with a message a reboot is required, where upon reboot and
login, there again is the paging file size error message and with no paging
file.

Both machines are networked., where one has access to the Internet. I am
wondering if some sort of programming having access or installed to both
machines is making changes to the system's registry, preventing the page
file settings from being stored permanently?

What you suggested seems to have cured the problem. I must have forgotten
that the security permission was changed from "Everyone" on the root drive
of the paging file.

Bill,
