PROBLEM SOLVED! - Re: Pagefile problem...here is a strange one!

I believe I have found the problem - it is a module of ZoneZlarm
7.0.302.00 (free edition). I began to suspect it last night due to an
error I received when performing a boot-time defrag on my C drive. The
error was received at the end that was:
STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure}
The registry cannot load the hive (file):
\SystemRoot\System32\Config\default
or its log or alternate is corrupt, absent, or not
writable.
After this I received a blue-screen (rare for me) that said Windows
encountered a problem with srescan.sys and could not continue. When
searching the google forums and websites I discovered others were having
this problem with srescan.sys and defrag utilities - it prevents some
utilities from writing to certain files on the hard drive. I uninstalled
srescan device in device manager (non-plug and play - hidden devices) and
removed the srescan files and registry entries. I now have a pagefile on
both drives and ZoneAlarm works fine. Srescan, from what I have read, is
a part of the AntiVirus component of ZoneAlarm free edition which I don't
use - I use NOD32. I hope this helps anyone else having the same problem.

There have been postings in these groups of different AV software
causing this problem. It seems to me there are reports of other than
Symantec AV also causing this.

John,John - The registry entry is correct - I checked that
previously. PagingFiles REG_MULTI_SZ C:\pagefile.sys 128 128
F:\pagefile.sys 1533 1533
I believe the problem is a tough one but thanks for trying!

Look at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management
and ensure that the following REG_MULTI_SZ value is properly recoded:
Name: PagingFiles
Type: REG_MULTI_SZ
Data: C:\pagefile.sys 64 64
F:\pagefile.sys 1533 1533

I'm hoping someone can solve this...I'm an IT pro but I can't seem
to find a solution.
XP Pro, SP2 w/all updates, 1.0GB RAM, 2 SATA Drives, no Norton,
viruses, etc.
Whenever I specify a pagefile on C (boot & system drive) alone no
problems, if I specify a pagefile on F alone(1st partition on 2nd HD
- HD has 2 partitions - data only) no problem. However, if I
specify a pagefile on BOTH C AND F it creates them OK, but upon
reboot it ALWAYS removes the pagefile on F and leaves the pagefile
on C. If I look at the Virtual Memory under Performance Options it
shows both pagefiles as still set (I usually set the F pagefile for
1533MB, C for 64MB). It makes no difference what values I choose,
the same problem occurs. It seems XP doesn't like 2 pagefiles - even
if they are on 2 harddrives as Microsoft says. I like to keep a
small pagefile on C for stop errors if they ever occur. I hope
someone has experienced this and has an answer. Google brought up
nothing.
