Re: Virtual Memory settings won't stick SOLVED (for now)

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I've had this problem for so long that I can't remember when it started.
I've been doing some new things recently, and I've found some that I can't do
because of the virtual memory being too low. It was finally time to take
some action because all of my previous tries to fix this have failed.

After I read your post below, I too installed the Intel Application
Accelerator, and when I rebooted, I had a paging file. WOW! Amazing! I'm
now off and running.

Thanks,
Jan
