[win2k] error BSOD when changing the pagefile size
This is a discussion about [win2k] error BSOD when changing the pagefile size in the Windows Software category; My win2k pro sets the size of the page file automatically. I wanted to give the pagefile a fixed value (250 MB) since there's only 128 MB ram in that computer, so when changing the size i clicked on set and then OK.
My win2k pro sets the size of the page file automatically. I wanted to give the pagefile a fixed value (250 MB) since there's only 128 MB ram in that computer, so when changing the size i clicked on "set" and then "OK". But a the moment i clicked on ok i got following BSOD:
stop 0x00000024
NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM --> classpnp.sys
I went looking for an explanaion for this error and did all i could find: latest bios, latest drivers, chkdsk, format. But nothing helps. I believe it could be another problem of this crappy ECS k7s5a motherboard i'm using right now, because before i had an MSI motherboard which didn't have this problem.
Has anyone else encountered that problem??
thanks.

Did you use NTFS on the other MB?
Doubt it's the MB though.

You're right, it's not the MB. I seem to haven narrowed the problem down to my antivirus (AVG antivirus). I have tried several times to change the swap file and it seems to be working fine now.
I have seen so many people with problems with this motherboard i blamed it for this problem too

What antivirus program are you running?
Hope it's not Norton! Way too bloated!!

No don't worry, it wasn't norton, i don't like it either. I was using AVG antivirus, a freeware antivirus, not the best, but it has saved me twice
I will search for another antivirus now.
Which one do you recommend videobruce?

I use System Suite formerly from Ontrack, now vCom that used TrendMicro's antivirus's definitions.
Also McAfee is suppose to be better. I did use it once and it found something System Suite didn't, but it is a hog also (no where near as bad as Norton!)
BTW, System Suite virus updates are free!
