ISSUE #! - Thanks for the suggestion, Dave. I have three other disks besides
my bootdisc that I could move the pagefile to. However, I'm afraid I'm not
savvy enough to know exactly how to do that. I have used the System control
panel, Advanced tab, Performance Settings, Advanced Tab, Virtual Memory area
to attempt to no avail. I was able to decrease the total size of the
pagefile. I attempted to click the No Pagefile button, but it seems I am
unable to do that since the system always comes back with a pagefile size of
767 MB regardless. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Finally, I
followed the instructions you referred me to to wipe out the pagefile at
shutdown successfully. None of these things had any effect on the ability of
chkdsk to run at boot time. It still gets automatically cancelled.
ISSUE #2 - I have taken more time and done a more thorough search on this
problem here on the boards and have found at least two reports by others who
encountered the same problem I am having. One of them dated 11/23/04 has
still not been answered. In the other, someone advised the writer he should
back up everything and then reinstall. I am hoping it really doesn't come to
so drastic a solution. One of the things I noticed however were the
instructions repeated time and time again to individuals on how to check
their chkdsk log using event viewer. These included instructions to look
under applications for the Winlogon entry. Now earlier, I uploaded each and
every entry from event viewer per your request and perhaps you simply missed
this, but I do not find anywhere an entry for Winlogon. Is this perhaps the
root cause or a contributor to this problem I am having?
