After changing my virtual memory settings
in the Virtual Memory section in My
Computer properties I restarted the PC.
It starts-up in DOS and will get to Log-on
of Windows, but after that the desktop
won't build up all the way. I can only see
the desktop wall-paper . After that there's
a message saying " The system is
running without a properly paging file.
Please us virtual memory option the
system applet in the Control panel to
create paging file etc..." after clicking OK
another window pops up saying "Desktop
can't access this folder, path too long" I
understand I have to change that virtual
memory stuff,but there's no way for me to
get through to the Control Panel. Even in
VGA mode startup it will still give me that
message. What's that desktop path
message anyway???

Does anyone know a solution. I must say
I'm still learning about Windows. I'm more
an Apple user!

Can you leave the dialog open and go change the virtual memory settings?
