XP SP2 - Shifting Pagefile
Hello,
Here's an odd one I can't find a solution to! Windows XP Pro SP2. I have several disks split into partitions Disk0 (D, Disk1 (C:, E, and Disk2 (I. I am wanting to shift the pagefile from C: to I:, however whenever I try Windows seems to put the pagefile anywhere other than I: (and completely randomly I might add). For example, set a custom pagefile on I: then set pagefile on all other drives to 'no pagefile', reboot, check settings and the pagefile will be on D:. Try it all over again, and it will appear on E:, then maybe C:, etc etc. I can never seem to get it on I: Any ideas? Its got me stuffed! |

XP SP2 - Shifting Pagefile
Set all Drives/Partitions to none, Click Apply then OK. Before rebooting
check the following Registry key to ensure settings took. [Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] The key PagingFiles, should be null (empty). After reboot, do a System wide search (w /Hidden & System Shown) for Pagefile.Sys. If any are found they are Orphaned - Delete them. Reboot again - Then set the Drives/Values you want (Click Apply). Recheck the Registry Key to verify settings. "ashram" wrote in message ... Hello, Here's an odd one I can't find a solution to! Windows XP Pro SP2.
