To purge \DllCache, open Command prompt window and type
SFC \PurgeCache [Enter]
What Anti-Virus or other Security software is installed ? Some
products ( eTrust 7.x ) can interfere with Pagefile changes.

Thanks for the suggestions. I followed your instructions including
defraging
the volume and trimming some of the Windows components. I did not locate
a
\DllCache folder to purge. Even after manually sizing pagefile to 256MB
(initial) and 384MB (maximum), I still get the "System Has No Paging File
or
the Paging File Is Too Small" error after reboot.

recommend you use Add/Remove programs ( Windows Components )
and then say XPLite to trim back the footprint of XP. You can also
reduce it further if you purge the \DllCache which will recover ~500 Meg.
Actually, I'd download and use Perfect Disk 8.0 in both a Boot and
GUI mode pass to get the drive optimized. On several occasions I've
been able to get Windows XP installed/running in a 2.7 Gigabyte disk
footprint.

I just completed a fresh installation of WinXP and I immediately began
getting the "System Has No Paging File or the Paging File Is Too Small"
error. Before asking my question I thought I'd review the other posts
to
see
if I could fix the problem. My project requires only the OS and my
control
application so a small (4GB) removable microdrive was selected. The
drive
has only one partition. Both files C:\pagefile.sys and
C:\windows\system32\temppf.sys were located on the drive.
I followed the suggestions in KB Article 315270 and ensured that all
users
(Administrator and one other) has Full Control permissions. I also
followed
some suggestions from Pegasus about giving everybody full access using
the
"cacls c: /e /g everyone:F" command, and ensuring that the SYSTEM
account
has
full access to the HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory
Management registry key. I even checked that the "Read-only" box was
not
checked in the C:\pagefile.sys properties per someones suggestion.
Nothing
fixed the error.
Finally, following a thought from R. McCarty that the C:\pagefile.sys
file
might be corrupt, I deleted it thinking that a new file would be
created
when
I set the page file size in Windows
Explorer\Properties\Advanced\Performance\Advanced\Virtual Memory. Of
course
that wasn't the case, and I am unable to copy
C:\windows\system32\temppf.sys
to the root because the system says the file's in use.
Can anyone offer any assistance?
