Windows XP help, please!

Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu –Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select “Save All Information” button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.

umm, you sent me the part I wanted left out and not the part I asked for.

Why do you have so many partitions, that is a really bad policy. You should always have a minimum of 10% of total disk space available on the boot partition. THat is about 8Gig in your case, you have 1.7 only. While you have all that wasted space on the other partitions.

Well... I've had two computers in my life and both had 4 partitions... Besides, some good people set it up for me (3 years ago)... They say it's good to have more than one...
And I think so too. Not very nice to have just C:

So you mean I need more space on C:?

No possible need for so many partitions, you just run into trouble.
I know some games that will fail to even install if you have so many drive letters, bad programing but it is still you that cannot play.

In General the only time you need more than one partition is if you want to run multiple operating systems or different storage formats. You have neither on your system.

Honestly that is the first thing I would do, It may not be the cause of your Virtual Memory problems but it is sure not helping.

Did you free up that much space?

As long as you are happy.
I thought you had tried all possible settings, did it not work a couple of days ago and works now?
