can't change paging file size for hard drive in XP SP2!!!

I just installed service pack 2 for my XP pro and the allocated paging file size for my C drive went down to 766 MB. And no matter how many times i try to set new values it won't let me, not even after restarts. How do i fix this problem?

Google "xp sp2 pagefile size change" and start reading the various threads and suggestions. That's where I got the one for Norton. I'm out of obvious ideas.
