You're better off putting the Page File in one Partition.

creepy, you look like me



Follow these steps though:





1. Log on to the computer as Administrator.

2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

3. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.

4. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Performance, click Settings.

5. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Virtual memory, click Change.

6. In the Drive [Volume Label] list, click a drive other than the one on which Windows is installed (Windows is usually installed on the drive C). Under Total paging file size for all drives, note the value that is displayed next to Recommended.

7. Click Custom size, and then type the recommended value in the Initial size (MB) box.

8. Type the maximum size that you want to allow for paging in the Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.

9. In the Drive [Volume Label] box, click the drive on which Windows is installed (usually the drive C), and then use one of the following steps:

* If you do not want a paging file on the drive, click No paging file, and then click Set. A message similar to the following message appears:

If the pagefile on volume C: has an initial size of less than 126 megabytes, then the system may not be able to create a debugging information file if a STOP error occurs.

Continue anyway?

Click Yes.



* If you want to keep the minimum size of the paging file on the drive, click Custom size, and then type a value that is equal to or greater than the amount of RAM in the computer in the Initial size (MB) box. Type that same value in the Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.

10. The following message appears:

The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before they can take effect.

Click OK, click OK, click OK, and then click Yes when you are prompted to restart the computer.

Wow, you're everywhere... First, km has no longer something to do with computers. this could be a equipment of length (kilometers). You recommend to declare kb (kilobytes). And, you may desire to be asserting mb (megabytes), no longer kb (kilobytes). There are 1024 kbs in one mb. in the journey that your notebook had 750 kbs of memory, it does no longer be waiting to tutor on. you certainly had 750 mbs till now, now you have 1240 mb (a million.24 gb). 2nd, i do no longer comprehend what you recommend once you're saying 9.28% of your memory is taken whilst it became 750 kb. generally, the notebook does not say how lots of your memory is taken up, for the reason that memory's a short-term cache for issues like internet archives and so on. the clarification it went from 9.28% to 0%, if it fairly is so, is that the memory became 'cleared' once you restarted your notebook. a minimum of that's my superb wager. determine you at the instant are not getting memory (RAM) and confusingcontinual area at a loss for words. The confusingcontinual is the place the interest would be put in on the notebook. I already defined what memory is, yet your interest is surely no longer put in on there. extra memory will, in spite of the undeniable fact that, make the interest run swifter.
