i've made the mistake of downloading too much data on my file sharing program and it made a paging file warning come up on my computer saying that i need to increase it . i've done this before with no problem, but now for some reason it doesn't seem to work. the performance options screen says my paging file size is only 20mb. i go to the virtual memory screen and change the minumum and maximum values for the paging files on my hard drive (it only lets me choose to change the values for the hd, which i dont think is an issue here), and the change seems to go into effect when i hit "ok" on the virtual memory screen and the values show a change on the performance value screen, however when i turn the computer back on, the same error screen comes on saying that i need to increase the size of my paging files and when i go back to the performance value screen to change the values again, the screen shows my paging file size is back to 20mb again. what am i doing wrong? i've gone so far as to erase most of my downloaded music and videos that initially caused the problem and even uninstalled my file sharing program (kazaa). please help me before i destroy this computer.
