It appears when i boot my win 2k refuses to make a swapfile for its self. one of the 1st error messages i see when it boots up is "there is no paging file or the page file is to small..." I go to the vitural memory setting in W2K and it tells me it needs to create a temporary page file and it make a 20 meg page file.
EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SETTING AT 150 inital and 500 max!
i have no idea what to do.
any help would be appreciated
Hmm.. not sure what this could be, but just check to make sure that the swap file is on a partition/volume that has enough free space.

I have a 9.3 gig with 6.9 available
Its as if the virtualy memory doesnt work at all cause everytime i look at the setting it says the page file is 20 megs even though i have it set for much higher.

Do you only have 1 partition? I mean, you could have 6.9 gigs available on D:, but only 20 megs available on C: where your swapfile is located by default (assuming you installed on C:).

This behavior can occur if you use the Computer Management tool in Microsoft
Management Console (MMC) to modify the paging file settings.
To resolve this issue, use the System tool in Control Panel to change the paging
file settings :
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click System.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Click Performance Options.
5. Click Change.
6. Click the drive on which you want to modify the paging file.
7. Type the appropriate values in the Initial Size and/or Maximum Size boxes,
and then click Set.
8. Click OK, click OK, and then click OK.

Thanks for the advice but I tried all that I literaly spent 2 days trying to fix it using the most computer smart people i know. I gave up and just Ghosted my old image to it.
I relly do just have 1 partition. my D drive is my CDrom.
I also did glens suggestions about 12 times and still had the problem.
thanks for the help though

finally someone with the same fault as mine, i have been trying to solve this now for 3 weeks and i have only found 1 soloution and that is to edit the pageing file via the regestry, BUT after you restart about 5 times it defaults back to 20mg
anyway it might help you try this
Use Regedt32 to navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
Double-click the PagingFiles value name, a type REG_MULTI_SZ data type, in the right hand pane
and there u can set the size.
hope this helps and if i manage to solve this further than i will let you know

My problem is similar. I have a dual boot system, and I just bought a 40 GB hard drive. In duplicating (Ghost or Xcopy32), my Win98SE works fine, but just after I log on as Administrator in Win2K, I get the "no paging file or paging file too small error". I can't get back into WIn2K to fix the registry item. I tried booting both drives and creating the swap file for each, but this didn't work either. Can't just copy the file over from one drive.
Any ideas

I had this problem too. Check out Microsoft article Q140472. This may be caused by removing EVERYONE from security to your local drive where the paging file is located.
If you give the user SYSTEM full access to the C: (system drive) its supposed to correct the problem.
