Page File Decreased

Hello,

Hopefully someone can help. We have two drives mirrored on a Windows Server
2003 System. Our drive is partition with an OS and a Page File. This
configuration was inherited. On the partition with the pagefile totalling
4.5Gb, has only 36.5MB left in use. We have also increased the RAM to 4Gb
from 2Gb.

Is this normal use of paging? Or is there something I can do to fix this?

Looking forward to your response.

Thank you

Hello George I.,

Sorry but your description is not clear for me. You have a pagefile which
is used only with the small amount of 36.5 MB? Or is this amount of the pagefile
NOT used?

Best regards

Correct, I have a partition that was configured for the pagefile use only,
with 4.5GB of space and it has been reduced to 36.5MB Pleaes let me know if
I need to clarify more.

Any ideas what I can do?

Thank you

You must delete whatever is using up the space on the partition used
for the paging file. 36 MBytes is grossly inadequate.

BTW, you had an earlier identical post on the same subject, to which
I replied. Please stick to the one thread until it is fully resolved.
