I'm hoping someone might be able to help me figure out why
my Win 2K sp3 system reports a pagefile size of 1112K when
it only has one 768K page file in existance.
Physical RAM is 384.

I cannot come up with any combination to produce a size of
1112K for the page file... anyone have any ideas?

Are you sure no other pagefiles exist on other drives?

Where exactly are you seeing this 1112K figure?

Yes, I am *absoultely* certain there are no other page
files anywhere on my system. My current page file resides
on its own partition as a fixed 768M (sorry, my figures
last night should have read M and not K).

Both WinRam Turbo and the Windows Task Manager report
pagefile sizes of 1112M. I'm baffled.

Out of curiosity, where does Taskmanager display the

Pagefile size?

Under the Performance tab, within the Commit Charge (K)
box, are the following values:
Total 501684
Limit 1139692
Peak 683356

As well, in the bottommost frame of taskman, it reads:
Mem Usage: 501744K / 1139692

Neither of those are your pagefile size.

If you want to know your pagefile size, hit Winkey+Pause/
Advanced/Performance Options.

If those figures aren't the pagefile size, what are they?
As far as I'm aware, the Performance Options only lists
the user defined pagefile allocation, not what's actually
in use.

The pagefiles specified in Performance Options are added to
physical memory. This total is displayed as Commit Charge
Limit and at the bottom of Task Manager's window.

Okay... I may be able to accept that Commit Charge equals
pagefile size plus physical mem size, but that still
doesn't explain the reported number of 1112M. As well,
within Computer Management|System Summary, the following
values are displayed:
Total Physical Memory 392,668 KB
Available Physical Memory 248,228 KB
Total Virtual Memory 1,532,360 KB
Available Virtual Memory 1,128,164 KB
Page File Space 1,139,692 KB
Page File S:\pagefile.sys

Considering my 'S' partition is set to 1G, it is
physically impossible for a 1.1G pagefile to exist on that
partition. Not to mention Windows (correctly) reports the
size of S:\pagefile.sys as 768,432 KB.
 
That it does Ricardo. It's not reinstall time but it sux. There was a user in a differnet newsgroup who had the same problem. They thought it was because of VS.NET Studio or the Framework 1.0. I asked in those newsgroups and nobody had the issue. Actually I found out I had the issue when I read their post. I don't really use it but I couldn't find anything on it specifically for Windows 2000.
