I have recently installed Windows XP Pro on a new laptop. I've applied
service pack 2 as well as all applicable hotfixes from MS Update.
My account is an Administrator on the machine. I go into System Properties
and change the paging file settings to a custom size, 3000 initial size and
3000 maximum size. I click the Set button, then OK (and so on) until I exit
System Properties. I get the message telling me to reboot the system. I do
so. Upon logging back in I notice the paging file is still the same size as
it had been before I made the change! No messages indicating an error in
event logs. I go into System Properties and the new settings are still set
(as noted above).
I reboot the box and go into Safe mode. Voila, the paging file size has now
changed to the size I set. Good. Reboot and go on about business.
However, upon logging in I see that the paging file has again gone back to
its original size!
Any ideas as to what is going on here?Thank you!
