Delete old pagefile.sys. Create new

Comment:

Does anyone have any idea how I can delete my old pagefile.sys and make a new one? Maybe this will fix my 0x50 error. Thanks in advance.

Right click on My computer and go to properties. From there go to "Advanced" Than click on the "Performance Settings" button. Click the "Advanced tab" Then the "Change" button. From there you should be at a virtual memory box. Click on the "No Paging File" dot then the "Set" button. Ok to all and reboot. Then follow the steps again but now tick the "system Managed Size" and click set, ok to all and reboot. you have now cleared your paging file. Note: disable this for all harddrives.

Also I read somewhere that there is an option in registry to erase the pagefile every time the system shuts down... may be you can find it in: http://support.microsoft.com
