Next time you start up try tapping F8 until you get a Menu. Select
Safe Mode and if XP boots up Ok then rt click on
MyComputer>select
Properties>Advanced>Performance-Settings>Advanced>Virtual Memory-Change. You
can set
your page file from there. I have 512MB of Ram and set my page file to
800 Min 800 Max. I never use more than
200MB of pagefile.
