After inputting my username/password (the administrator username/pass makes no difference) I get a pop-up box.

Limited Virtual Memory
Your system has no paging file, or the paging file is too small.


etc....

Then tells you how to either add or change the paging file size... by going to "My Computer" etc etc etc.


Problem is... I CAN'T GET TO MY COMPUTER TO CHANGE IT!!!

After clicking "OK" in the box (there's no other option) - I am sent back to the login screen and cannot get to the desktop.

Can anyone offer any sugestions, please? How can I get into Windows again?

dont know if this will work but try (it works with XP), press F8 as the white bar goes across the bottom of the screen and select Safe Mode, should get you to a desktop to sort out the paging file.
