I have a problem with my pagefiles. My computer is constantly complaining of low disk space on drive C, but every time I free space it fills it up with an ever-growing pagefile. I have 2 gigabytes of RAM memory and only a third is used. I tried setting the pagefile to my other hard drive and resetting my computer, but it completely ignores my new settings. I cannot delete the pagefile because it says it's being accessed, it keeps making it larger, and I can't set it to a better hard drive. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the link to that long ago thread. One of bcastner's posts (I gave him a star too) resolved an issue I was having on one of my workstations following this months security patches. One of them must have corrupted something in the system restore. All fixed now.
Thanks again!
