virtual Memory / allocated memory

I have a Terminal Server that has a virtual Memory
problem. The currently allocated amount of memory is
stable at 20 MB even though the Paging file has an initial
size of 1536 MB and Maximum size of 2000 MB. No changes
after a reboot. When I set the maximum values to different
value the currently allocated amount changes but when the
system doesn't tell me to reboot. After a reboot the
allocated amount is back to 20 MB. If I change both values
I'm asked to reboot and immediately I'm back to 20MB.
I have no warning in my event log.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Victor
 
There have been a couple of similar reports here. 20M seems to be
the default value when the system (for one reason or another)
doesn't like the values that you have set.
Here are 2 quotes from previous posts that I saved:

"I FINALLY got it to change, but only by going through the Wizard
under Help. THEN, the Min/Max values were blank, and when I set
them to 4095 and restarted, it showed VMem as 4095."


"I had a similar problem with a server that was recommending a
high virtual memory setting due to large amount of physical RAM.
If you tried to set the recommended setting, the server would
reset to 20MB. In the end I found that the total of Paging file
and Registry size had to be less than 4096. Once I set this if
worked OK."
