Why won't Windows XP sp1 allow any changes to virtual memory (pagefile)?

No matter what I do to try to change the amount of
virtual memory (the size of the pagefile.sys) of the
location (which hard drive), Windows XP sp1 will not
allow the change. I mean you change it & set it & the
applet shows & records the changes but when you actually
check the pagefile size manually it always shows 1.5
times your actual physical memory on C (system root)
Drive.

Do you reboot after you make the change?
Make sure the SYSTEM has Full Control on the hard drive.
