There are very few instances where setting the page file to a specific
size
helps anything. Unless one is running a second pagefile on another
physical
drive, it is always best to set it to let the System Manage Size of the
pagefile.
go to the virtual memory
configuration window and
set it to custom with a
initial size=2 and max=1.5
times the size of your
ram.
No. Max 1.5 can easily be too little! Besides, nothing here indicates
that
the size should be set to anything but letting the system manage it.
example: if you have 1 gig
of ram, then set the max
to 1.5 gigs. however, there
is also a recommended size
provided by your operating
system and can be found
on that same window where
you set the size.
That "recommended" size is nothing useful. It can be as bad as limiting
VM
to 1.5 RAM. There simply are NO one size fits all sizes for VM/pagefile,
whatever you wish to call it.
be sure to have only
1 pagefile as some
people set 2 or more.
Careful: If there are 2 physical hard drives and the main pagefile is
set
for other than the boot drive, the the pagefile on the boot drive DOES
need
to be set small, in order to make the second pagefil useful. That's a
common
method if increasing VM efficiency and speeding up page file access times
since it can happen in parallel with the OS instead of serially if it's
all on one drive. Nothing here indicates the number of physical drives
present or whether the pagefile is set to the 2nd one.
then reboot.
in addition to the pagefile
system, you might also
benefit by a freeware
called pagedefrag.
No, not based on the informaiton provided. There is no indication of
pagefile fragmentation here. One shouldn't fiddle with things like that
for
no reason.
it can be downloaded
from microsoft.com
here are some helpful
links:
http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=virtual+memory+too+low
That article assumes there is a reason to not have used System Managed
Size
and is mainly about specific problems such as Office problems etc..
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/tips/default.mspx
A decent link, but ... nothing to do with the problem at hand.

Correction from previous..
an error message appears in the toolbar saying that the virtual
memory is too low and it will increase; but never does because it
keeps appearing.. Hope this clears it up..
Actually, it does do it. It's just that after increasing it once it
finds
it needs to do it yet agan. And again. And ...
.
