Hi,

i have same problem as you. The Nichols article is useful but does not address the last solution of deleting and reinstalling the Pagefile.SYS.
Please can someone give instructions on this.
Thanks

I have the same problem , where I set the paging file, and it does not change
or ,rarely, it does change, but returns to 167MB at next reboot. Currently I
have it set on custom, minimum 400 MB, but repeated attempts to set yeild
only 167 MB. I followed the instructions from Alex Nichol up to the point of
deleting PAGEFILE.SYS. A search turns up nothing, even of hidden files or
folders. I cannot delete this file if I cannot find it. What do you recommend?
