"The possible maximum paged pool memory on a computer is 343 MB of paged
pool in Windows 2000 with the paged pool key set to FFFFFFFF, or 164 MB if
the key is not present."

The default max for page pool on Windows 2000 is 160 MB. You might be able
to increase that value. Check out the following KB articles for instructions
on how to determine if the paged pool size can be increased.

 

FYI, this is a really good reason to upgrade to Windows 2003. Windows 2003
has much higher kernel memory limits.

You may also have simply too many users on the system and ran out of kernel
memory and need to expand.

When I get this, my only recourse is to reboot the server.  I watched an MS
webcast on this error and they say it's a kernel mode driver not releasing

intensive) steps to figure out which driver is causing the problem.   I get
this error mostly on my PDC Emulator.

I get this.

The server was unable to allocate from the system paged pool because the
pool was empty.

W2K SP4
PS 4.0

Once that error begins, users can not connect to the server anymore.  I 
knock a few users out, all is well.
