Page file

I owe all you gentlemen an appology - yes you can set your pagefile min. and
max. to the same value - part of the problem was that I had excess space and
had set pagefile to max. recommended on 2 different drives - ie. twice max
recommended - have corrected this so that one third is on C: drive and two
thirds is on D: drive (min and max - same value) and still on reboot it
recognises pagefile on D: and ignores C: pagefile until next reboot - when it
registers both - not a major issue and I will live with it - thank you for
your patience and suggestion's .

I am trying to learn and it was a simple question to begin with - did
not require RC or anything else if you guy's actually read the
responses you would see that the system corrects after second boot -
I wanted to know why it takes two boots . As for being civil - if you
offer advice you should at least be accurate and offer advice on the
question asked . I do realize there are a lot of variables out there
but if you split your page file over 2 drives(wich is recomended in
alot of instances) why does the system not read both on first reboot
(but corrects this on second boot) It is not a critical issue , if
you don't know the answer don't start in about RC etc .

Sorry, but God, Allah, or whatever is your favorite ultimate deity
doesn't participate in the newsgroups. To it, all this computer stuff
is human-spawned self-hell on earth.

If you don't know the answer, and if no one else does either, then be
prepared to experiment. If you don't have the initiative and
persistence to use and maintain a general-purpose operating system then
computers is not something you should get involved with. They are not
single-purpose appliances, like an oven. There is never any guarantee
that any advice (which is, ahem, advice and not fact) will solve your
problem. Advice provides you a clue or guideline that *may* help
resolve your problem. Don't post in newsgroups expecting absolute
truths and guaranteed answers. You are always free to ignore any post
submitted to your thread. You, however, cannot bar anyone from
submitting to it. It's not your personally owned resource.

We're digressing from the original topic. So far no one else has come
up with better *suggestions*. Guess no one has experienced your
specific dilemma, isn't interested in helping you, doesn't want to help
you, or never saw your post.. Regardless of your wants, the solution to
your simple question is not a simple answer. As such, and if simple
solutions are all that you will accept that are based on absolute and
immutable truths (which obviously doesn't apply to software), then
you're stuck with the problem. As I mentioned, if no one that
volunteers their time for free can help you, and if you can't help you,
and if you won't pay someone to help you, then a possible last resort is
to backup your data, reformat the partition, and do a fresh install and
hope you or your OS don't screw up again. Sometimes major surgery is
required if the problem is deemed severe enough to warrant it.
