Re: verifying PAE is enabled
i thought it was disabled from xp sp2 onwards as it caused driver problems

Re: verifying PAE is enabled
The PAE option does nothing useful on any 32 bit version of Windows after XP SP1. That is unless you are a device driver developer. The option is intended to allow access to RAM above 4 GB but this only works with server systems. It is not supported or needed on 64 bit systems.
