in [Windows Performance]

From: torgrot on 4 Apr 2006 00:12 I tried at the command prompt del pagefile.sys and it replied it couldn't find it. I can't see it in Windows Explorer ever. I have View set to show hidden and system files etc... but it never shows up. I have tried searching for it and it never finds it. I tried attrib pagefile.sys and it doesn't find it.

You may need to run chkdsk /r from the RC -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

Set your page file to system managed size, and reboot, it should be fine, or if not try 1.5 times the size of installed ram... nobody needs a two gig pagefile..
