If the page file is unable to accommodate a Memory.dmp file, debugging the problem is not possible. The page file is configured for crash dump when your computer starts, and the behavior described earlier in this article is logged when the physical memory on the computer is greater than the size of the Pagefile.sys file.". Q319931 refers to all W2K servers: This problem is caused by a bug in the Memory Manager when it tries to allocate a contiguous run of free memory" and provides a fix. I just wanted to add some quicks links and quotes that I saw in my travels to help resolve your issue. Ping us back with the answer Q3139931 says that this problem was corrected in SP4. I have long since installed SP4, but have the error message in my event viewer for every system start for several weeks now. I have (repeatedly) deleted the pagefile and recreated it with various sizes. I now have a 512MB pagefile for 256MB memory, and have disabled crash dump completely. Nonetheless, this error message is still appearing. The system also refuses to shutdown, but produces no error message in normal mode (just blank background screen for W2k). In safe mode, shutdown often produces blue screen with error message 0x9f DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. All of this was working fine a few weeks ago. What else can I do? Tearing my hair out, rsbrux
