Page File size changed

[dcdon]

Did something really stupid...

Took a suggestion at face value without checking first.

This is what was said...

"To speed up your computer and get rid of trash, change your page file
setting to "zero" before defragging, without rebooting"

Well dumb me did it, and the computer created a new page file at 10M. I
reset to 20 M, and now everytime I try to reset to the original of 200M, the
pooter reboots itself and will not change the page file size. I've tried
rebooting into "last known good configuration", but "no mas". Would
appreciate knowing how to get rid of this "wedgie". Maybe do away with and
create a new page file.

Do you think it might be straightened out by running SP4?
Presently I am running SP3

Clearing the Page File on Shutdown

Clearing the Page File on Shutdown
Another way to set the computer to clear the pagefile without directly
editing the registry is:

1.. Click on the Start button
2.. Go to the Control Panel
3.. Administrative Tools
4.. Local Security Policy
5.. Local Policies
6.. Click on Security Options
7.. Right hand menu - right click on "Shutdown: Clear Virtual Memory
Pagefile"
8.. Select "Enable"
9.. Reboot
Another way to do the Task

If you want to clear the page file on each shutdown:

1.. Start Regedit
2.. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management\ClearPageFileAtShutdown
3.. Set the value to 1
Will this work?
