I have a P3 running at 450. 128 megs of ram, with a 12 gig harddrive. The harddrive has only about 5.5 megs used up. My problem is that when the computer loads up it says I am running low on vitual memory, and it has set it to 20 megs. I have tried changing it many times for instance Min. 200 Max 500, but when I restart the computer the virtual memory is not created. The error message will pop up again and when I check the settings under performance. The Min and Max are 200 and 500. I cant seem to have it create the pagefile.sys file on the C drive. I can do it on my Zip disk and it will keep it however the Zip disk is very small and also I can only get an 85 meg virtual memory file. Anyone have any ideas on how I can create and maintain the virtual memory file.

Before changeing the settings, close and dissable all kind og Antivirus software, since most of them monitors the pagefile changes.
