Q: I put my page file to 256 MB. That is what seems to be the file pagefile.sys. Still in sysinfo, Sandra, and Memturbo, it has been reported as being 739.13MB . I can not for the life of me. as setting the pagefile to 0, it is still, reportedly, pagefile. The only thing that could be involved is that a Windows or twice told me that my virtual memory was too low and rose for me .
any suggestions for what would be goin on here great.

Re:tried deleting the pagefile and letting it recreate it, no difference…
Re:i simply cant figure this out…

Do you have one pagefile on each disk?
check hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\session manager\memory management\pagingfiles to see what your OS is using for pagefiles.
Don't edit this value unless you're willing to risk a noboot.
i checked it out, an it just says: D:\pagefile.sys 256 256
so thats not it.
searched once again for pagefile files on my computer and only find that one.
is it possible that these programs are somehow misreading it and gettin the wrong system info?
and i have switched pagefiles from one drive to another in the past, but there are no residual files leftover still.
thanks, and any other suggestions would be great.

Re:I have noticed that if I have a pagefile on one disk, and then delete it and make another one on another disk followed by a restart….sometimes it doesnt delete the old one even though in the config it says zero. That file isnt being used and it can be deleted…its a hidden file called pagefile.sys(or something)
maybe thats your problem
