Swap File problems

[Bad Head]

I have my swap file in two partitions - the C: Drive, and the Y: Drive,
which is the first partition on my second physical Hard Drive. The trouble
is, that recently, it seem to have disappeared from my C: Drive. When I go
to Control Panel/System/Advanced/Performance/Advanced/ the virtual memory
reads as 3000mb, which is the amount I have set on the Y: Drive. The 750 mb
on the C: drive is not included, even though it is shown as being present on
the dialogue box which appears when the Change button is pressed. Both my
Virtual Memory files are set to Custom Size, and both have the same Initial
Size and Maximum Size. Any ideas?

You could return the virtual settings to default and reboot, and then try to restore your settings. You should keep you
virtual memory on one drive, preferably your fastest drive. Also, 3.75GB of pagefile sounds excessive. Run a few program
with task manager on top, and see how much space Virtual Memory (pagefile) actually uses. I have 1 GB DDR500 on my machin
and pagefile usage rarely goes over 250MB, even when processing video for DVD's
