Thread: Need help regarding messages about swap files that are too small in Windows XP

Windows always displays a message reminding of a missing swap file or one that is too small. Here, there is nothing you have changed in the standard settings, the file is available and also sufficiently large. Where does the problem lie?

Here, an intervention in the registry is of help. Open the editor by starting 'Start/Run', Typing 'regedit' and clicking 'OK'. In the program, navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol \Session Manager\Memory Management' and open the 'PagingFiles' entry to the right by double-clicking. You can 'Edit Multiline Strings' in the following dialog box. Windows displays 'C:\pagefile. sys 384 768' as a value for instance. Change it into 'C:\pagefile.sys 512 1024' and click 'OK'. Then close the registry and restart the computer. After that, the error message will most likely not keep you from your work. If this message still continues to appear, you can gradually increase the values.
