Hi dduffy,

Try this to create a new pagefile.sys

Go To:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Avanced[tab] > Performance Options...
Change > enter "0" (zero) in initial and maximum > click Set > OK out.
Click to expand...

Reboot computer, search for and delete pagefile.sys (If pooter complains about
can't send to Recycle bin beacuse too large, do you want to delete it anyway?, Say
Yes)

Go back to Virtual memory and put 2 times you RAM in both blanks > Set > OK out

Reboot and go back and check to make sure it is as you set it.

Rule from M$

Pagefile minimum is RAM + 32 megs
Pagefile maximum is 4095 megs(there is a work around for larger if necessary)


good computing,
don
