how do I set the page file of one of my winnt 4 server BDCs after I upgraded memory from 128M to 256M. The logs keep getting full every couple of days and I keep clearing them??

Well, there are many different opinions on Windows page file sizes. Here is what I do, based off an article I read here at Techrepublic.com a couple of years ago.

Min VM size = Physical RAM + 100
MAX VM size = Min VM size + 20%

So, since you have 256 MG RAM, set the Min to 356 MB, and the Max to 427 MB.

See if that works out for you.

I suggest you move the PageFile to a Large-enough Non-System partition. Then use Joe's formula to determine the size or simply multiply your available RAM by 1.5 & ensure that both MIN & MAX Size is the same.

Goodluck

Personally I will use Uch recommendations, and one more thing this has nothing to do with your log files, check what events are appearing all the tim eand try to fix them, unless they are related to the paging file itself

thx
