get a spyware/adware cleaner

also, I recommend microsoft windows antispyware beta

oh yeah, add more RAM or repair your system, 'cuz page files being erased take a while

Defrag the HD in addition to doing the things mentioned above.
Make sure you have plenty of free space on your HD (at least 10%)
Remove all unnecessary programs that might be running in the background.

Did you install any tweak program that gave you the option to "Clear Page file on shutdown?" If so, disable that option.

windows requires at least 15% free HD space to defrag, by any chance did you set your computer to clear pagefile at shutdown?

edit I didt realize the post above mine

What type of spyware/adware removing programs are you running? In addition to the microsoft antispyware I would add Adaware, Spybot, and Spywareblaster.

a gig of ram is more than enough for shutdown.....try the other suggestions first.
