Bizarre - XP keeps over-riding my swap file settings

[jpinard]

Win XP keeps overriding my manual swap file settings. 10x now I've set it to 256 Meg or 512 Meg, and then I come back several reboots/program installs later to find it's changed itself to 2 Gig +... even though in my virtual memory tab it still shows what I force-set it to. So in virtual memory settings it shows max/min set to 512 Meg, and then it shows the actual size of 2 Gig... looking on my C:\ drive I confirm it's over 2 Gig in size. Anyone ever heard of this?

Yes, it's telling you that your defined settings aren't high enough. Read the sticky on Virtual Memory settings if you want to define a static size...if not, allow Windows to manage it.
