i have a really annoying problem:
All Virtual Memory settings are ignored and the pagefile is set to a default
(dynamic) size. Every
shutdown, the pagefile.sys is being deleted and on boot time re-created
again.
I have already checked the common registry settings (please see below) and
they seem to be o.k.
The problem occurs on 3 different machines (all i have in reach here):
- Windows XP Pro EN SP1 (Notebook with 1024MB Ram; also now with SP2
installed)
- Windows XP Pro EN SP1 (Virtual Machine - very clean install! - with 256 MB
Ram)
- Windows XP Pro MCE DE SP1 (Workstation with 1024MB Ram; also now with SP2
installed)
Example:
When set the paging file size to 1024MB, the setting is ignored and a
'Recommended' 1534MB
with 'Currently allocated' 1535MB takes place.
these newsgroups. They are "text only".

problems.
Good luck
