I use XP pro, and one thing I learned, they tried to make it idoit proof, so it is not easy to change anything. I have noclue on your problem though I will look into it and see if I can find anything for you

First Off, you must be the administrator of the PC to change the paging file.. second, it requires a reboot to take effect, I believe. Or at least moving it from one drive to another does

In XP there is an option to have windows automatically manage the size of your page file for you, turn this off then you should be allowed to change it.
