 Hi

 I have an error most times I log on. Searching the net, it seems like I
need to set the system to 'no paging file' then delete pagefile.sys. The
problem is that I cant see pagefile.sys! I have tried setting my folder
options to view hidden and system files but non are shown. If I do a dir /ah
c: then I can see it, but cant do anything with it. Searching for it doesn't
work either.

Most advice on the net (including t he link below) says I should be able to
delete the pagefile.sys after selecting 'no paging file' and the folder
option to show system files.

I am running XP pro. without the sevice packs.

Any ideas?
