no it dos not.

by default XP set min and max size on install. any change of ram (mainly if you add ram) requires a change of page file settings. XP has an optoin for the OS to manage it, but you have to set it to that its not automatic.

488408 2006-10-03 06:32:00 Ok, so if I want to check to make sure the haha technician changed that, where do I find it. supergran (108)
488409 2006-10-03 23:19:00 Please someone tell me, where can I change the page swap file settings, or at least make sure they are set to automatic. supergran (108)

then change the size and dont forget to clik the 'set' button.......

I usually set the min/max to 1024 if you have 512mb ....works perfectly for me

488411 2006-10-04 00:02:00 ditto above....however set it to auto, se what windows sets it to then use those fiqures to set the min max setings.

a fixed size is better than auto.

488412 2006-10-04 00:14:00 Ok, is the auto the 'system managed size', cos if so, it says 718 for recommended, but present is 720. Have to reboot, then see what it says, if same, I will change it to 1024 and see what happens. Thanks. supergran (108)
488413 2006-10-04 00:33:00 Ok, done that, and it still says "total paging file size for all drives'
Minimum718 mb
Recommended 718 mb
Currently allocated 719 mb, and that is with me changing it to custom, and putting in 1024. Beats me, doesn't look like it is going to change for me.
