What are your pagefile settings? Right click My Computer and select
Properties, Advanced, Performance Settings, Advanced, Virtual Memory
Change. In particular what is allocation for C?
How large is your C drive / partition and how much free disk space?
Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to
Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Also
select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp,
More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest System
Restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.
Have you been trying any third party disk defragmenter?

Hope this helps.

My C drive is 200GB and there is still 84% still free. I have not been using
any third party Disk Defragmenters, I am totally against them. I had tried
what both of you have said to try and neither of them had worked.

I have the same problem using defrag. My OS is XP Home SP3, my chkdsk won't
run either. My onboard help said to, at cmd prompt, type "fsutil dirty query
c:" Output should be Volume c: is either "dirty" or "not dirty".
If dirty autochk would run on restart. However, I got "Error: The maximum
number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded."
I also have 500 gb, with over 300 gb free, and a 160 gb slave, thats 90 %
free.
Iam going to try the link from Leonard Grey.

This link picks up on "secrets":
http://snipurl.com/5fy5f [www_microsoft_com]
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838425.aspx
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20376741-XP-Pro-Beep-service-error
http://snipurl.com/5g0hs [64_233_169_104]
You have to look at recent programmes installed. Also whether you have
the malware referred in one of the links.
