Im using a 32bit os of windows 8.1 RE: How can i fix my swap file being limited - LarryTheComputerGuy - 03-09-2017 (03-09-2017, 05:40 AM)smirk24 Wrote: I wanted to set my page file to the recommended size but i cant make my page file go passed 4095 but my recommended size says 5gigs and some? I haven't worked with any 32bit systems in a long while, so I am assuming that because a 32bit system will only utilize 4GB of RAM, the system will not let you go over 4095. The recommended size could possibly be a glitch in Windows 8.1 32bit. I'm sure someone else could elaborate on this, but I think this may be why... RE: How can i fix my swap file being limited - Britec - 03-11-2017 To remove the restriction on 32bit machines follow these steps. Click Start > Click Run, now type regedit to Open the registry editor. Look in the left pane and find the following registry subkey: Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement Now find these Pagingfiles values below, double-click on them to open it. Change all the existing values, with the following values below: Code: c:\pagefile1\pagefile.sys 3000 4000 You should now be able to go past 4095 RE: How can i fix my swap file being limited - LarryTheComputerGuy - 03-11-2017 (03-11-2017, 06:56 PM)Britec Wrote: To remove the restriction on 32bit machines follow these steps.
