Paging File errors

[Mike Ru]

I continue to have a problem establishing a Paging File.
I log on as the administrator, go to Control Panel,
System, change my paging file and still my PC shows a 0
amount. Therefore, programs that demand alot of memory
either run slow of shut down. I have spent numerous
hours reviewing MS tech bulletins, updated Windows XP
utilizing the program disk, etc. Worked with some very
knowledgeable PC folks and still the problems exists.
Has anybody faced this or am I missing something?

Am I missing something?

Did you click the SET tab after sizing your page file?

See MVP Alex Nichol's article on virtual memory management in Windows
XP at http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm especially the section dealing
with problems.

Good luck
