Also, when you receive that message XP creates a temporary Pagefile
called Temppf.Sys in the C:\Windows\System32 folder, not the usual
Pagefile.Sys in the Root of the System drive. So this allows you to
delete any Pagefile.Sys that exists but won't be used during this XP
session. These Pagefile.Sys may be orphaned or corrupted and be the
cause for the boot up message.
