How can I get the pagefile to point to see D? I got some issues...

I "set" the virtual memory to point to D and click ok but it continues to default back to C after I return to the same window

pagefile partition must be NTFS, and better be local.
you need to restart the server.

by "try and add"  what do you mean?  I thought you simply click on D in virtual mem windows and "set"
You need to specify the amount of memory you want to allocate to it.
I did that.  Maybe it's using D and I'm not aware of it but C is bracketed and it only when I click on D that it switches over.  Are there other ways to confirm which pagefile is currently being used?

oooooh...  so what should the page file size look like for C...  like the customized variables?
im sorry for my english is not my speaking language. when i say try y should have say test. here's a link that can hel you http://www.petri.co.il/pagefile_optimization.htm. good Luck
Microsoft recommends a minimun of 2 and max 50 but i would put 300MB as min and max.

The rest you put to D following the 1.5x rule.
k, i will try this when i get in the office.  Hopefully, it frees up disk space on C cuz the OS is very unstable rt now.
Any luck?
