virtual memory size locked at 1054mb

[Sean]

I run XP Pro. My virtual memory size is locked at
1054mb. I changed it to 512mb initial and maximum size
under the "custom size" heading in the control panel:
system: advanced: performance options: virtual memory
window. Yet the "total paging file size for all drives"
table still lists the recommended size at 1053mb. No
matter what size I change the custom size to, my drive
map shows 1054mb allocated. I've even tried to click
on "no paging file," defragment the hard disk with
Diskeeper, and reset the size to 512mb after reboot, but
after the next reboot, my drive map still shows 1054mb
allocated, not 512.

Third party software that might possibly be related to
this problem is TweakNow Powerpack 2005, but I do not
know how it can force the paging file to remain the same
size despite manually changing these settings on the
Control Panel dialogue. I appreciate any assistance or
insight!


Sincerely
Sean

Do yourself a favore her and select system managed
size,apply,ok,ok,ok for restart the computer.Then forget
about it.(I'll never know why you would want to set it so
low for anyway,unless you have some small size hard drive
like 5 or 10 Gigs,that you would want to not use up the
free space.)
