• Virtual memory pagefile resets automatically

  Can you please explain why I repeatedly set the virtual memory on my win 7 x 64 PC (16 GB of RAM, 3 hard drives).

  Whenever I set up with the swap file is not located on the C: drive, it works well for a few weeks maximum, then spontaneously returns, on C: it's getting really annoying.

  I don't want a page on C: file - it's a SSD and decrease wear a tear of additional access if one of my goals.  I always establish either a managed by system pagefile on the other two disks (d and e) or set the fixed size too - it makes no difference - windows accepts the new settings, then change them randomly in a few weeks.

  If I can't change those settings, why pretend to give me the option?

  Not happy.

  If I have a pagefile on the C: why Windows allow it to be turned off?

  Because the controls for the page file are simple and global. If Windows detects that the need to create a page on C file, it will do and it has always been like that...

  I must ask, why this is not in the help information?  I shouldn't go to an online forum because something does not work in the way that Windows insists it does.

  Creation of help files is a huge job, and if help files included all imaginable configurations, you would be hard-pressed to run to find out what you wanted and could be grinding too on this subject... :-)

  Surely with hundreds of MB of updates, I did it they could include an update of info ToolTips and help for this feature.

  Yes, they could, but there is no hard and fast rule about page files other than the fact that all THE Windows operating systems, and others, need one.

  Unless you disable virtual memory completely Windows makes no mention of this requirement and when it does it says a minimum 800 MB file.

  Virtual memory should not be disabled completely. Each source has its own algorithm to work on the optimal size for a swap file. The thought was that at least 500 MB for dump files. That may have changed, and in all cases, it is always preferable to provide a little more than the bare minimum...

  I would also add that in two generations previous Windows, it was not a requirement, and I have to marvel at the stupidity of introducing it.

  He was ALWAYS a requirement, but Microsoft have changes to allow greater freedom of Windows 7. Thinking change over time and what was good x years there may be irrelevant today...

  Sad to say, it's typical Microsoft and only the wheel that squeaks Gets the oil, so now I'm grinding.

  It is not more typical of Microsoft it's others. You just have not met similar problems on other platforms... :-)

  Then why do you want to move your file on the SSD page? With the amount of RAM you have, page file reads/writes will be minimum and an SSD is the absolute ideal of a file of page anyway. Wear of SSD drives can be overstated, as much as SSDS are becoming better, and in all probability, you will need a new computer before your SSD wears

• Windows correctly diagnosed a State of lack of virtual memory

  I got this message three times now. I'm only running 3 programs and IE is not one of them.

  Hello

  Step 1:

  If you receive warnings that virtual memory is low, you need to increase the minimum size of your pagefile. Windows sets the initial minimum size of the paging file to the RAM memory (RAM) installed on your computer plus 300 megabytes (MB) and maximum size of 3 times the amount of RAM installed on your computer. If you see warnings at these recommended levels, and then increase the minimum and maximum sizes.

  1 open the system by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then click System.

  2. in the left pane, click Advanced system settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. on the Advanced tab, under performance, click settings.

  4. click the Advanced tab, and then under virtual memory, click on change.

  5. clear handles it automatically the size of pagefile for all drives check box.

  6. under drive [Volume name], click the drive that contains the paging file that you want to change.

  7. click on custom size, enter a new size in megabytes in the initial size (MB) or maximum size (MB) box, click on set and then click OK.

  Increases in size usually don't require a restart, but if you decrease the size, you will need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect. We recommend that you do not disable or delete the paging file.

• Size Exchange 7 and Windows virtual memory is set to none

  Upgraded from Vista to Win 7. When the computer reboots, the system properties box appears. When I open the performance parameters on the Advanced tab, and then on the Advanced tab in the performance options, change under virtual memory, the size of paging is set to none. He will not keep the automatically manage the size of paging for all readers of setting / what could be the cause I get warnings some memory?

  Ding, ding, ding... found the answer, tried and it works from another thread.

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7performance/thread/992de6a8-bec2-4E74-b6d9-d418a7f5cda0

  Thus, according to this link, the procedure is to:

  Start > Search > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". Provide the password/OK to the UAC prompt, and a command prompt opens. At the prompt, type:

  SC config afs start = disabled [Enter]

  and then quit the command prompt. Note that there is no space after 'start' but there is a after the equal sign.

  The thread referenced in this link gives more details. Please note that I have not tried this since my Win7 pagefile is fine and I don't want to spoil it. I don't have a testbed box or VM to experiment on this point. YMMV Yes.

• Virtual memory in Windows 7

  Windows 7 Home Edition, 32-bit running.

  I don't know how to set virtual memory, the problem is when I put, 'automatically' or 'custom size'. the setting is not retained.

  George Troynar

  I found a couple more options for solve you the problem with setting of the Page file.

  -Try to use the command with the - sc config start = disabled afs command prompt.

  Apparently, this disables a component of audio driver (afs) (of little consequence) which is incompatible with the pagefile.

  The prompt as administrator and type or copy / paste - sc config start = disabled afs.

  Press enter, and then restart your computer. Try to set the filename of the Page again.

  [Note: If your command prompt is not already in Admin mode-]

  Type cmd.exe into the Start Menu search bar.  Right-click on CMD.exe in the drop-down list and select Properties.

  Click on the Compatibility tab and check the box next to - "run as administrator... ». ]

• Satellite 1100: Excel keeps freezing - too low virtual memory

  I have a satellite 1100. My Microsort Excel program keeps freezing (mainly when I print or you are trying to save) and then tells me to stop.

  So, I also have a message icon telling me that I am low on virtual memory. Microsoft stop related to memory being low?

  How can I increase the memory? Or do I just need a new laptop! Help, please.

  Hello

  Satellite 1100 is really an old classic, but he should be able to use common desktop applications such as Word or Excel with no problems
  Virtual memory also known under the name a paging file is a file on your disk (default C:\pagefile.sys) than Windows applications and use more physical memory (RAM) according to your needs. The default and the recommended of pagefile.sys size is 1.5 times the amount of physical memory. Virtual memory is the amount of physical memory and the pagefile. So, if your computer has 512 MB of RAM, there is a page file 768 MB by default, for a total of 1.25 GB of physical + virtual memory.

  So what to do in your case? Generally, the RAM upgrade should solve this problem. You can also try to increase the size of the pagefile.sys.
  This can be done in system-> tab advanced properties-> Performance settings-> advanced-> virtual memory change tab.

  After the change of virtual memory, you have to restart the laptop again.
  If this will not help then an upgrade of RAM would be required or a new laptop effective ;)

• Satellite Pro L40 - Vista display lack of virtual memory message

  Hello

  new here on this forum, hope someone can help,

  I have a series of satellite Pro L40, I'm trying to free up memory space I get the prompt "virtual memory is low", Vista (c) shows 3.28 GB free of 37.2 GB & data (E :) shows 100% free, I just replced both modules of memory with x 2 1 GB 200 pin Sodimm memory upgrades but Vista is still to display only 3.28 GB of free space) , any idea?

  Your very confused!, Mike.

  Hi Mike,.

  I think you mixed a lot of The RAM (Random Access Memory) has * nothing * to do with disk space von Vista (c).
  Vista with low disk space partition is stored on the HARD disk and the second partition (E :) as well.
  RAM and HARD drive are completely different. All your data/files are stored on the HARD drive because the RAM is no place to save the data.

  In any case, I think you need to move some files from partition C: to E: partition like photos, music, etc. Then, you can get rid of this error message.

• How to change the maximum virtual memory

  Hi, I use a laptop 1.8 GHz, 512 MB of tevra m2.

  BitDefender Antivirus consumes a lot of memory, so be careful about the use of memory.
  so I was wondering if anyone knows how to set up the best of 'virtual memory': min and max: about 1.5 to 2 times the size of RAM?
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Please go to:

  Properties - "Advanced" tab - control panel in the button 'Edit' performance zone - tab "Advanced"

  You will find the virtual memory settings.
  I recommend you set the settings of "size of system managed". In this case the OS will control the value automatically.

  Hello

  The Windows XP operating system use a space on the hard drive as virtual memory. This means that a file is a space on the hard disk that Windows uses as if it were RAM.
  The file size is variable and you can change the size of file in the performance Options.

  Please go to control panel - system - Advanced tab. You will find the Performance parameters.
  In the performance Options, you will find 3 tabs (Visual effects, advanced, Data Execution Prevention). On the Advanced tab, you can find the option to change the virtual memory.
