thats the problem i am having!

in addition, pagefile problems like this have been resolved for some people with an intel processor by installing the Intel Application Accelerator.

I am an amd user, so this wasn't my issue, but it might be yours

Under older versions of Windows, you used to be able to just move the pagefile over to a new partition, reboot, then defrag the C:\ drive, then move the pagefile back again following another reboot. This would have the same effect as copying to clean diskspace. This would work without incident providing there is no disk corruption.
I've never needed to use 3rd party apps to defrag the swap/page file, but that's 'cos my fragmentation is never that great as I have the pagefile on it's own partition.
I reiterate; this may/may not work as I've never tested it under XP, and many things have changed over the last few years. Anyone remember having to run defrag twice under 95 so as not to screw FAT1 & FAT2 up? lol....Good Luck
