Pagefile.sys has completely disappeared. It started when the power failed and my computer crashed.

My pagefile.sys has completely disappeared. This all started when the power failed and my computer crashed.
I get the message that he was away, I went to the performance and settings and tried to change custom settings & re-start.
No matter what I do, nothing works. I lost several hours of visiting sites for tips and nothing seems to help.
I was told when re-boots WinXP it creates the new file pagefile.sys and I should delete the pagefile.sys file may be corrupted on the C drive.
So I put the folders to show hidden files and delete pagefile.sys. I have re-set and tried to recover with no success.
There is now absolutely no pagefile.sys on my C drive. Anyone know how I can get back my pagefile.sys?
I want to get my virtual memory works again?
Thank you very much in advance!

I'd start first with the chkdsk/r.

Don't forget - if you have a factory installed recovery Partition, fixmbr will scan it as the Master Boot Record that written XP will equal not the MBR installed by the factory, so first run chkdsk /r (did I say that already)?

Here are some instructions:

Where people have no XP bootable media, here are my instructions:

If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

xp_rec_con. ISO

Download the ISO from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

http://www.ImgBurn.com/

When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

Press any key to boot from CD...

Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

CHKDSK C: /r

Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • L50 - B satellite will not start when the battery is completely discharged

    Hello

    My Toshiba L50 - B won't start when the battery is fully drained but connected to the power outlet.
    I try to work most of the time on the battery to keep the battery in good shape, but when I forgot to turn off the battery drains and the system will not start when I plug in the adapter.

    The battery charge indicator is orange light as it should. Only when the battery is fully charged to 100%, it will run at startup and function normally after that. I tried to turn on the laptop several times during the charge cycle, but only when the charge indicator changes from yellow to white it starts. Tested for 2 bodies.

    My old Toshiba always immediately turned on when I plugged the adapter even when the battery has been completely drained. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Thanks for responding... I hope well :-)

    Any standard/original setting since I only acquired this laptop a month ago.

    The laptop should light up if the power adapter is plugged in and power the laptop corectly any if the battery is empty or during charge.

    Please check the version of the BIOS that is available on your mobile phone and compare with the BIOS available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver
    Maybe you need to update the BIOS, but to be honest, the history seems really odd to me and I m afraid that there could be some power supply electronic problem

    So in the worst case, the laptop must be checked by authorized service provider.

  • My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on. I want to reconfigure it so that it does not turn

    My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on.  I want to reconfigure it so that it won't turn.  I know this is probably a simple change, but I can't find the path anywhere.  Any help?

    I guess you do NOT mean that you have both printer and computer plugged into the same power strip and both are turn on when you turn on the power strip.

    As nearly as I can determine the rather thin material in the Guide for the Dell P713w user, probably have enabled "Eco-Mode" or the mode 'sleep '.  See page 19 of the User Guide (if you don't have it, download it here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/PRN_P713w/en/index.htm).

    When this feature is enabled, the printer goes into mode low power when it has been idle for a while.  When the computer is off, the printer is by definition inactive and so will go to low power, shortly after that the computer is turned off.  When the computer is turned on, it detects the presence of the printer and connects to the printer.  Apparently, the printer interprets this string as the "no-idle" and out of his low-power mode, which appears as if it is "turn on."

    In addition, this printer performs an automatic maintenance cycle every week if it is plugged into a power outlet. It will briefly exit Power Saver mode or turn on temporarily if it is disabled.

    At least one of the lights on the printer flashes power on and off when you think that the printer is turned off?  If so, it is in energy saving mode.

    Of course, I may be totally wrong, but it seems to me if you actually turn off the printer by pressing the button on / off on screen, he should not be able to auto (except once / week maintenance cycle).  From the Manual:

    Note: When the printer is turned on, press [power] to switch to the power saving mode. Press and hold [power] for 3 seconds to turn off the printer.

  • [8510w] system shuts down / is not start when the card is inserted

    Hello
    my old 8510w developed a bad thing - when the power cord is inserted, system will shut down. Works fine on battery.
    Symptoms:

    1. stops when the power cord is inserted;
    2. does not start then on the power supply;
    3. charge led flashes in unusual ways - led is quite low, but gets a little more brilliant ca once per second;
    4. power led lights also dimmed down mode.

    I tried another adapter as well, so that should be good. I would like to know if this problem is known and could be repaired (quite easily), or there is no point to this end by like old computer as 8510w.

    Measure the output voltage of the AC adapter does not prevent the failure of adapter to even the slightest charge.

    If the laptop will not start even with an identical power adapter connected and remove the battery, then it is very likely that the electric distribution/charging circuit on the map system of the laptop has a faulty component.  If you're a troubleshoting capableof until the component level and bulbs to solder you can fix the system board. Most people choose to replace the motherboard or laptop.

  • LR6 will not automatically start when the memory card is inserted

    Hello

    Recently upgraded to LR6 from LR 5.7.1. When LR 5.7.1 was installed, it would automatically start when the memory card is inserted. With only LR6 installed it does not open when the memory card has been inserted.

    I "see the import dialog when a memory card is detected."

    I have LR installed 6.0.1.

    When the memory card is inserted, you receive the following error message:

    If I right click on the disk memory and select Auto Open play, a list of programs appear particularly LR. The program is highlighted is

    If I click on LR in the list above, I encounter error "Application not found".

    When I manually start LR6, it works and I can manually import from memory card.

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you

    Stu

    Yes, Autoplay is still trying to run LR5.

    There is a previous thread with notes on how to edit the Windows registry to resolve this problem, if you are comfortable doing.

  • How to set up so that VMs automatically starts when the host reboot?

    We lost power this morning and all 4 ESX hosts are down.  When the power is back, we observe that VM is not started automatically.

    We find we have not enabled 'start and stop Virtual Machines with the system.  In this way, we have allowed it.

    We'd like to know, is it necessary to move all virtual machines (those we would like to bring start automatically when the host is in place) "Manual start" to "any order"?

    In addition, as the setting is on each ESX host, will be the setting (i.e. automatic start in any order) for a particular virtual machine carried over to another ESX host if it is has been vMotioned?

    Thank you

    (1) Yes, it applies for each host and is not shared between all the other hosts and is disabled by default. You must activate it by going to configuration tab look for 'Machine virtual start/stop' to activate and set the priority/delay for your virtual machines

    (2) personally, I don't use this feature, it could be the case that the default update the settings back... it would be surprising if that were the case, I re - activate and try to stop or restart and see if that is the case. If it's the latter, I would file a ticket with VMware if you have a support contract

    (3) No, if everything is configured correctly and the change of the start/stop is retained through reboots, they should automatically turn on virtual machines in the list that you specified.

  • Re: Computer laptop Qosmio F15 does not start when the Start button / stop is pressed

    My Toshiba Qosmio f15-av201 does not turn when you push the power button, even if the lights of ac adapter & battery are both on (on). Indeed, the yellow light that is supposed to turn on the power button when the laptop is turned off does not appear. In addition, there is no sign that shows the laptop tries to start when the button is pressed, not even a peep. The laptop was recently dismantled (open) to clean the fans, who made the famous monstrous noise which toshiba qosmios are apparently well known for.
    Everything seems to be connected correctly in its correct place. Nothing seems to be damaged. So, I have no idea where I can get out of here. Pending issue.
