    Paging File Location and Settings Questions


    From what you're saying,
    I gather that I need not worry so much about it and that the one page file I've allocated will do just fine.
    Thanks for all the information.

    The image displayed no page file.
    If you are having any crashes or BSOD then you will want the page file on the same drive as windows.

    Event ID: 49 Configuring the Page file for crash dump failed. Make sure there is a page file on the boot partition and that is large enough to contain all physical memory.

    I don't understand what you mean by...
    "The image displayed no page file." ???

    I have not experienced the dreaded BSOD.
    My system is very responsive and is working well for me.
    I was merely trying to save space on my Windows drive,
    by moving the pagefile.sys.
    Without having any performance loss and or pagefile issues.

    This is another thing I don't understand,
    about your comment.
    "Make sure there is a page file on the boot partition"
    How do I do this,
    without taking up space on my OS drive?

    Also what is,
    Event ID: 49?

    I don't understand what you mean by...
    "The image displayed no page file."???

    about your comment.
    "Make sure there is a page file on the boot partition"???

    Also what is,

    Why do you think I'm having pagefile issues???

    Help with what?
    I really don't understand what it is you're trying to help me with?
    Perhaps you can explain?

    I only wanted to move the page file to another drive,
    to save space on my Windows drive.

    What!?
    Maybe it's me,
    but I don't get what it is that you trying to do?

    I'm sorry,
    but I don't understand. *Confused

    I marked this thread as "Solved",
    so it really doesn't matter much anyway.
