Hmm, should have worked.....let's back up and use the GUI method and forget
the registry for the moment (though I would like to see the key referenced
above).

I am assuming you've done this, but just to make me feel better, humor me ;)

Close everything

Now, back on the VIRTUAL MEMORY tab, select the second drive (or whatever
drive you're aiming for) in the DRIVE [VOLUME LABEL] box.

First, CREATE a new page file. Check CUSTOM SIZE and for now put in 1536 in
initial size and 1536 in maximum size. Click the SET button.

Now, select the C: drive. Check the NO PAGING FILE radio button and press
the SET button.

Click OK. Windows should say it needs to restart. Do so. (if it doesn't then
say so).

After reboot, go back to the the VIRTUAL MEMORY settings. What do you see?

If it has returned to the original state, what version of windows are you
using? Xp Pro or Home? Part of a workgroup or domain? Have you ever
installed any "tweaks" that might apply to virtual memory, for example, a
tweak to clear virtual memory at shutdown? Running any tweaking programs
like powertoys or xteq?
