Probable reason your page file is corrupted. Reboot to safe mode, Click on Windows
Key + Break. This should bring you system properties. Tab to Advanced, Performace
-> Settings, Tab to advanced under performance settings, Click on change under virtual
memory. Choose no page file, click set, then ok.. ok and finally reboot the machine.
When reboot is successful, delete the pagefile.sys if still present in C: root directory.
Now do the same process goto virtual memory and choose system managed size. Click
set, reboot. This should fix your problem. It looks like XP's pagefile needs to be
fixed everytime you re-install XP or apply service packs. Hope this resolves. Nat
