I recently updated/changed from Windows ME to Windows 2000 Professional.
Every time I start up the computer, it "almost gets there", then stops, showing
a blu screen with error message PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, i.e.,
STOP number 0x00000050, which implies problems with the writing to memory
(swap file).

I then restart the computer, and it starts up fine. Ergo: I always need to start
the computer twice, the first time resulting in a blur screen, the second time
successfully. 

I have set aside a 766 MB swap file on the C: partition (min and max size), although
I previously had it on the D: partition. I have run chkdsk and service packs, and 
no
errors are found whatsoever, but the problems remains. My computer is formatted
in NTFS (but was FAT32 prior to Windows 2000.)

I have no new hardware besides an additional 256 MB RAM.

I have a few programs installed, but they are all normal, like Acrobat Reader 5.0
and the like, and they all work fine, and installed OK.
