I have a laptop computer, 1.8GHz processor and 1.5GB RAM.
Right now, I have 4 programs running (not counting background processes
and services, and I'm rarely running more than that, except when I have
multiple instances of IE or Firefox open). Applications I'm running are
Outlook, Visual Studio .NET, Excel, and Windows Task Manager, and I'm
only using 423MB of memory. I have never used up all my memory. In fact,
I don't even remember using half of it.
I want to know why I need that Virtual Memory Paging File, under these
circumstances? Unlike my RAM, my disk space is quite limited (given that
I have two operating systems installed), and that 2.3GB which the paging
file occupies (recommended size) would be quite handy if I freed it. As
it is, it's using 5.75% of my hard disk space which I have reserved for
Windows, and that is quite large portion.
Can I safely remove the Paging file, or reduce its size?
Removal is not a good idea. I would recommend you set it to a minimum of 512MB and no maximum.
