Delayed Write Failed - Error Message When You Manage Files in Windows XP
The system Page Table Entries (PTEs) are depleted or fragmented due to the system performing a large number of input/output (I/O) actions.
A faulty device driver is not managing memory properly.
An application, such as a backup program, is improperly allocating large amounts of kernel memory.
Another cause is excessive demands for system PTE by applications. This situation is more common in server environments. Windows XP Professional provides a registry entry, SystemPages, that you can use to increase the number of PTEs allocated.
Caution
Do not edit the registry unless you have no alternative. The registry editor bypasses standard safeguards, allowing settings that can damage your system, or even require you to reinstall Windows.
To increase the number of PTEs allocated in the registry
1. In the Run dialog box, and in the Open box, type: regedit
2. In the registry editor, navigate to the subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Session Manager\Memory Management.
3. Double-click on PagedPoolSize and SystemPages to view the value for each entry.
4. If PagedPoolSize is not zero, assign a value of 0.
5. If SystemPages is not zero, assign a value of 40000 for systems with 128 MB (or less) of memory, or 110000 for systems with 128 MB to 256 MB of memory. For systems with more memory, do not increase the SystemPages value above 110000 without contacting Microsoft technical support.
6. Click OK, and then close the registry editor.
7. Restart your computer.
