Hi,
I received a message stating that "Your system has no paging file, or the paging files is too small." When I go into the virtual memory settings, the space available reads "0". When I try to access my C: drive through My Computer, it says that it is not accessible. Please help me with this issue ASAP!!!! Thanks.
