Go to System Properties --> Advanced Tab --> Settings (Performance) --> Advanced tab --> Change (Virtual Memory)

Untick Automatically Manage....crap (not sure if it's there in XP)
Select the system drive (C: )
Click custom size and change them like you want.

Wait about half an hour. I just found out Camtasia Studio 3 doesn't work in Vista. Have to install 4. That's why taking too long. :sorry:

[lasanka]

hahah shape machan tnx for the help man

[lasanka]

vista sirade?

[Anusha]

vista sirade?
It's fine. Still lacking full driver support :(

It's just as when they released XP. Most things that worked in 98 didn't work in XP until they released new versions of software. At least, it's not as bad as that with Vista. Most programs work. But you find few programs once in a while that don't work in Vista :(

[Anusha]

Oh man! I just heard from a friend that version 4 doesn't fully support Vista either, so I can't give you a video. I'll give you screenshots in 3 minutes.

It can get fragmented. :)

[shanX]

It can get fragmented. :)
why?

[Anusha]

why?
It might increase the pagefile size dynamically, and might not have enough space to contiguously allocate space for the new portion. :)

So is using system managed page file on XP, not much good? Then shud we set a custom sized one?

Still, set it to a fixed amount. (i.e. starting size = maximum size = 1.5+ times more than the physical RAM)

[lasanka]

anusha my system says recommended size 768????????? why shans wun jus 384.. is it cos my system has too much software runjin????? heh

All those screenshots are from me. Shan never said it was 384MB :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

You have 512MB RAM right? Recommended size = 1.5 x physical RAM.

[shanX]

[lasanka]

shit! bloody 512 ram now coz i have enuf ram i have stupid page file size... is it shape to reduce it to like 512???? and put max of like 650???

[lasanka]

tnx for the help guys

[lasanka]

anusha dya think it will be k to reduce the size of the pagefile??

[Anusha]

See it shows 767MB as currently allocated. It will increase more if it ever needs more RAM. I think for 512MB RAM, it should be kept fixed at least at 1GB.

[lasanka]

ok tnx dude
