Hi... it is a long time I have a serious problem involving my paging file.
I have a ThinkPad A31 and was delivered by default with a small partition C
Unfortunatly my sysman decided to keep it and very soon I discovered an
annoying bug of XP. If this partition runs out of space it crashes.
Well, after a while I relized that the problem was tha paging file, so I
just realocated space for swapping on d:, same partition on which XP is
installed.
The problem didn't stop, just became less frequent. In fact, sometimes the
paging file is reseted on c:. I lived with this problem cheating XP for a
long time. I just set the paging file on C: with 20MB and on D with aGB.
Now, for some other not clear reason the trick doesn't work anymore.
Sometimes suddenly the paging file is realocated on C with 1GB... enough to
run out of space.
Obiously the solution will be removing the partition BUT I would like to
understand WHY this is happening.
I found sometimes this happen after Microsoft updates itself.
Do you have any suggestion to stop, to understand or at least to find a way
to understand this problem?
Thanks
Ale
