Can't boot into winNT. Lets me type my password but it tells me that my paging file is to small and i have to change it under the control panel...how can i do this when the computer displays my user name and ask me for my password again??? much help needed, thank you.. Sophy
If you do not have administrative rights on the NT machine, you cannot change the page file size. You will need to find an administrator to change that for you. Just out of curiousity, what happens when you enter your username/password when you try to change the page file size?
