It may seem silly to some, but it leaves me questioning.
No chuckling allowed please. 😉
System is as follows;
Motherboard, ASUS A7V880 Dual Channel
CPU: AMD Sempron 2.800 Gb
RAM 2Gb or { 512 X 4 } DDR PC133 , 400Mgz Matching Ram “Infineon”
Running Windows XPPro. System runs very well.
The C:\ Drive is a 20Gb Western Digital and is alone formatted at fat 32
All main programs are installed here and all saves are sent to various folders on the other drives.
The D: (Office) & E: (Games) Are on One Drive. Maxtor 40Gb Partitioned into two, formatted at NTSF
The F: (Programming and Storage) is also only one Drive Maxtor 20Gb formatted at NTSF.
My problem is as follows.
I refer to my Page or Swap File . As usual it was on the C:\ and set at system Controlled.
I took it from there set it to Custom and put it on my last Drive (F)”apart from the rest and set it at 3500 / 3500 or 1.5
I then would do the usual shut down and restart and would only come back to find that it had set itself to ” Use NO page swap File”
No matter what I do or how I configure this, I can’t seem to get it to work with a page file.
I’ve tried working with 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and have even tried setting it at a straight 2Gb, still the same problem.
No matter what I do, I can’t seem to activate the Page File system.”Unless I let the system do it and then it’s back on the C:\.
I want to set it apart on another Drive but for some reason it won’t let me.
Am I doing anything wrong here, or is it that once you reach a certain amount of Ram, the page file goes off?.
I’ve never had this problem before and am not sure if I should just leave well enough alone, “Not like me at all” or perhaps try and track down the problem, if indeed one exists.
Any help or thoughts would be most appreciated on this.
Thank you in advance
Aaron
