If you are using Norton or Symantec Antivirus 2004 or 2005 the default
application setting enables autoprotect at start up. This is liable to clash
with the loading of the pagefile setting so Windows just does its own thing
usually a huge pagefile.
If this is the cause of your problem, turno off Norton Autoprotect and
reboot and then check that it is indeed off. Then set your pagefile. You
must set a page file at least minimum size on C or Windows will not set page
files on other drives but will do its own thing. After setting the pf for C
set the size(s) for other drives. Reboot check that the files have inded set
i.e. search for pagefile.sys on each drive. Turn on autoprotect manually but
do NOT enable it to start with Windows. If you are anxious to have
Autprotect enabled you can do a work around by moving the command that
starts it from the HKLM in the Registry to the All Users Startup Folder. The
command line to move is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec
Shared\CCAPP.EXE
This will cause Norton to start after the pagefile has been loaded.
