    Question pagefile.sys HUGE!

    I have an older computer that has a NT OS. The pagefile.sys on the C drive is almost 250 MB. Is there an easy way to reset this file or am I stuck with it?

    the page file is default to 1.5 times the amount of ram you have installed!!!!

    (i have a gig of ram, think how i feel. mine is 1.5 gig)

    there is an option to change the file size right click on my computer goto properties and there is an option in there (at work and locked down) to change the file size of your pagefile

    250mb is a reasonable size for a pagefile... how much RAM is in the machine?
