re: No Paging File dialog during boot causing bootup looping - arrghh - help, Dex! Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 8:28 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by dhm (1069 messages posted) Kiwi, I think I may have found the problem. On another forum I found that XP has an optional setting that deletes the PAGEFILE.SYS when XP shuts down. If your copy of XP is set that way then it keeps deleting the PAGEFILE.SYS that Win2K expects. Here's the info as little as I know: www.techmixer.com/pagefilesys-how-to-remove-pagefilesys-from-windows Look for the response by Matthias Dailey. Since that may move here's where he says XP sets it: Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Shutdown: clear virtual memory pagefile He crossreferences this for advice on XP's Group Policy editor: www.theeldergeek.com/group_policy_editor.htm Here's hoping.
