madboy33 Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Hi alli am having problems with the PC again, It worked fine this morning, Turned it on tonight and then it just kept restarting. I then looked in event viewer and saw that SMC (sygate firewall ) was causing the problems and i uninstalled that.I thought i would then turn off "Auto Restart" if there was a system failure and got the message listed below (see screen shot)any ideas thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie2 Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I found this about paging file sizes. It is for W2k but the settings reasoning behind the size should be the same for XPhttp://web.ukonline.co.uk/cook/Pagefile.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 heres the xp one http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/expertz...es/03june16.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Split the page file over two or more physical drives. If you have two or more physical drives (not just two or more partitions on a single physical drive), splitting the page file over each drive can improve performance because it means Windows XP can extract data from each drive's page file simultaneously. For example, if your current initial page file size is 384 MB, then you'd set up a page file on drive with a 192-MB initial size, and another page file on a second drive with a 192-MB initial size.

madboy33 Posted February 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 okits not a good idea for me to put the swap file on my Slave HDD as that is only a 5200rpm and my master is 7200rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 makes no difference mine are different speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboy33 Posted February 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 ok so can someone teach/tell me how to change the swap file to a different drive then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 its easy just go in system properties,advanced and performance then set,click on the h/drive and set a pagefile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
