Limited Virtual Memory - Pagefile Increase...???

Dear friends,

I am confronted with a typical problem and am almost at my wits end.

I have two HDD:

Disk One 80 GB two partitions C and D on windows xp
Disk two 160 GB on three partitions E F and G on windows advanced server 2000

I have no problems as regards the first HDD in which I can work easily.

BUT when i boot from second HDD; it says while almost about to start that-

There is Limited Virtual Memory and asks to increase pagefile.sys.

I had no idea about this but i did a lot of reading and increased pagefile in all drives and partitions.

Still when I boot from 160 GB running on windows advanced server 2000; it shows error message that increase your pagefile and as a result i am unable to use it.

I am attaching two screenshots which may help in understanding my problem and possibly solving the error.





Anxioustly awaiting replies.

Best regards,

Sunando

That is unnecessary. You simply need one PageFile 1.5x min to 3.0x max the amount of system ram on the boot partition and second one the same size on a separate HD for optimal performance. The most you will ever need is two.

I agree with GeneralAres (for once) you have far too many pagefiles and each if far to big. What I have been told though is Ram+Page files =2GB on Xp. The reason for this is that the less Ram you have the more you will use your pagefile. I am not saying GeneralAres is wrong but this sound logical to me.

Have you done any tweaking to you computer that could have affected it.

nopes...apart from pagefile...nothing...as i am not expert at computers and therefore know my limitations stay away from any changes unless fully sure and absolutely necessary...

Ok presuming you know how to change the size of the page file can I ask you chose to have not page file and reboot and then make a new one there might be something wrong with the one that you have. If this dose not work then I don't think that it is your page file, and might be something else.

How much actual RAM is in your PC?
