| 524157 | 2007-02-12 04:29:00 | That's funny....I tried to set the page file on Vista to 3072MB. After I cliked on 'Set' - then OK, I got the notorious BSoD. Anybody had the same problem? |

| 524158 | 2007-02-12 23:24:00 | If its got a default setting, leave it on that. If u have 3 gb setting it to 3072 most probably used up most of the ram, which is why it crashed. |

| 524159 | 2007-02-13 00:25:00 | what is the default setting that vista is on? isn't it on system managed page file? So why would u want to change it? What is the default it's set to on windows xp sp2 anyway? system managed? isn't system managed the optiminal because it detects how much ram u have and multiplies it by 1.5? |

| 524160 | 2007-02-13 02:41:00 | RAM? I meant page file...the HDD that acts like RAM. I now have 2GB RAM, need to update my sig. I don't know what's going on. |

| 524161 | 2007-02-13 02:46:00 | Well leave it on the default system managed setting if there is one in Vista. Does it crash on the default setting? |

Because Windows sometimes gets these things wrong . qazwsxokmijn, why do you want to change the page file, are you having issues? What version of Vista, not that I'd be able to tell you anyway but, the several different versions may treat settings such as page file quite differently . The diff version do have different capabilities and resource requirements . . |

| 524163 | 2007-02-13 05:45:00 | I'm not having any issues, and it's Windows-set to 2.4GB, but is that enough? | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 524164 | 2007-02-13 06:21:00 | Seems a bit light to me, but then I'm not entirely sure how Vista handles memory . What version of Vista is it? |

I think the point of setting the min & max figures in RAM instead of letting windows control it, was that the page file size was set so it didnt get fragmented while increasing and decreasing. Old disks used to slow down too much, it isnt so bad nowadays. If you have over 2 GB of RAM, then I suggest you set up a RAM drive and use that for the page file, otherwise let Windows set as required. |
