Hello there,

I have 5 partitions in my computer (C, D, E, F, G), and C: is the system partition.

Recently I changed the page file setting to use 768-768 MB from the G:, without changing the C: default value (256-512 MB).

Everything runs fine until I rebooted my PC.

I unset the G:'s page file before I rebooted my PC.


Well, after I rebooted my PC, my XP becomes VERY slow. damn slow.

I don't know how long I wasted to wait for the boot screen to disappear. (Well, maybe about 1-3 mins. Normally it is under 10 secs)

and when I tried to enter the desktop, it just like using a computer without a VGA card, or VGA driver installed. Very slow.

Any suggestions to fix this problem?

Because I hate to repair-install my XP =\

Thanks.
