| 319660 | 2005-02-02 01:12:00 | It was fixed - for my part. But even when you set the pagefile to a fixed size (ie. the minimum and maximum sizes both being the same), Windows will still resize if it sees fit. | saikou (7056) | ||

| 319662 | 2005-02-02 02:42:00 | Is this of any assistance? Here... (pcworld.co.nz) :cool: Why 384MB, is this a little outdated? BTW, I have mine set to 960MB in win2k (512MB ram). For all drives as it happens although, I don't know what this is supposed to mean because there is not option to customise it, and if you could, why would you? |

| 319663 | 2005-02-02 02:46:00 | pcworld tipworld needs a kick up the @#$%. setting the min/max the same will stop the swapfile resizeing. however if its not big enough win9x will just crash and Xp will tell you its making it bigger. the BEST optoin is to make sure the minimum amount is large enough, this stops windows from shrinking it while letting windows increase it if it needs to. with XP do not reduce the swapfile size smaller than default (which is based on the amount of ram installed). 384 meg is a @#$% size as every pc is different. some pc's today have 1 gig of ram therefore XP requires over 2gig of swapfile. |

| 319664 | 2005-02-02 04:50:00 | The recommended size on my pc (WinXP Pro, 512Mb RAM) was 768. I have changed it to a set size of 1024MB - double the RAM size. It is on another drive. All seems to be going well. CRASH!!! Oh well... | John H (8) | ||
