then making your swap file minimum size equal to the suggested swap file size, with the max 1.5 times minimum.

You're referring to virtual memory, right?

If so, when I looked both were set to 256.  When I changed the Min = 2  and Max = anything above 256,  upon rebooting I got a "Your system is low  on virtual memory, Windows is allocating more memory and some process may not be available for use" error.  And when I looked some other "available" something or other would say 11 MB or 12 MB.

When I changed both min and max back to 256 and rebooted, there was no low virtual memory error and when I looked in the window where the changes were made, that 11 or 12 MB was now saying 256 MB again.

This is on Windows 2000 Pro.

When I had my laptop which had XP and 512 MB DDR Ram, I managed to change those numbers to Min=2  Max=4095  without problem.  But for some reason I can't change the settings on my desktop.

Oh, and how do you defrag a swap drive?  When I go to my defrag all I see are hard drive C and hard drive D (older one for storage)
