Paging File Size Error - Help...?

OK, I wonder if anyone can help a muppet in distress. I've
had this problem on my PC in work for a while now, I think
it started when I tried to network my collegue's computer up
to mine so we could play Unreal. Anyway, everytime I start
the PC up it says I have Paging File Size error, the page
size is too small. It tells me to go into My Computer,
Advanced, Performance Options, and to increase the size. The
minimum is 2mb, the recommended is 382. Ok, so I put in 'IB'
382, and 'MB' 2000. This has not worked. I'm trying to play
GTA3 and the fucking thing keeps coming up with a memory
problem box and sending my PC tits up....

CAN YOU HELP? :(

OK print screen didn't work...

LIMITED VIRTUAL MEMORY

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

1. Right click my computer, click properties and then
advanced options.

2. Click the performance options button and click the change
button. Under Drive (Volume Size), select the drive you
want.

3. To create a new paging size, click the Initial Size (IB)
box, and type a paging size.

-OR-

To increase the paging file size, click the Maximum size
(MB) and then type a larger size.

Click set, then ok.

This is what it says when I go into Performance Options:

Windows created a temporary paging file on your computer
because of a problem that occured with your paging file
configuration when you started your computer. The total
paging file size for all disk drives may be somewhat larger
than the file size you specified.

I also get this error message afterwards:

VIRTUAL MEMORY MINIMUM TOO LOW

Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows in increasing
the size of your virtual memory paging file. During this
process, requests for some applications may be denied. For
more information, see Help.

Don't think I can do that...

See, when I go in, it always say it's allocated 20mb, even
though I've set it higher. Look:

Just set the minimum and maximum to 0.

You need admin rights to change it.
