For me, the Gateway didn't start this error until we tried the max memory upgrade (to 2 gb) that crucial.com recommended. With both sticks in, we got the error. With one stick in, and one stick of the factory 256 memory, we got the error. We put back both sticks of factory 256, and no error.

I think I'll try Nar's fix to change the memory usage with the factory memory installed, then switch to the new 1 gb sticks, unless anyone thinks that would prove to be a problem.

I'll let you all know how that turns out unless someone talks me out of trying it.

whats up everyone, i have run into this problem on many differnt computers and here is how you fix it.

If you can boot into Safe Mode:
right click on "My Computer"
go to "Properties"
Click "Advanced"
Click "Settings" in the Performance Box
Click "Advanced"
Change Memory Usage to "Programs"
Reboot

If you cannot boot into Safe Mode:
(I have not tested this, so use at your own risk)
But hey, you cant boot anyway, so what do you have to loose.

Use recovery disk to get into recover console or find some other way to run a command prompt on the drive that is having the issue.
The type the following command:
REG ADD HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management /v LargeSystemCache /t REG_BINARY /d 0x1
reboot

That should change the same key that was changed in the first steps

If this works, signup for an accoutn here and let us know, this windows issue has gone on long enough, and Microsoft is not addressing this widespead problem, we need your feedback.

Peace,

adambeazley - you are a star! I hit the same problem (after much tinkering as part of speeding up XP - classes.cnet.com) so re-booted (safe mode w/networking) and found your post. I followed your instructions and everything worked as before. Thanks for the tip.
