Hi,
I have Windows XP SP2 with all patches. My machine has 1GB of RAM and I
don't need much more than that so I wanted to set the page file to 512MB
(initial and max).
However, Windows doesn't let me. I can change it to "No paging file".
Then, after reboot, I can set it to 512MB just fine until the next
restart. After that it goes to 1535MB. The virtual memory settings are
still what I set (512MB init/512MB max) but the allocated shows 1535MB
(with the recommended being 1534MB and minimum 2MB).
I also tried to set to 2048MB but no luck there. It still uses 1535MB.
I wrote a stupid app which allocates memory like crazy just to see if it
was at least a fix size but no, the page file started to grow until it
reached ~3GB, ie until the system reached the 4GB of virtual memory. And
next reboot, you guess it... 1535MB again.
Any idea about what's going on?
