The recommended paging file size on my pc is 382 MB. I set it to 512-512 MB when i restart windows it changes to 382 MB under currently allocated. Can someone tell me why this happens and how to fix it? thanks.

Under Windows XP correct?
If so, when you go to System properties->Advanced Tab->Performance Settings->Advanced Tab->Change Virtual Memory settings, make sure you have it set to "Custom Settings", and also that if you do you click "Set" to apply the settings.
Since it recommends you have 384MB minimum you have 256MB Ram. It is recommended you have 384-512 allocated, it could be resetting it because of that. Not for sure.

Thank you for replying. I am running Win XP and have 256 Mb of Ram, that's why i set it to 512-512. I know how to set the paging file the problem is when i restart it reverts to 382, like it's locked like that. It doesn't stay at what i set it on.

From what I have found, there is no direct limit or minimum on Page File size, but Microsoft clearly recommends 150% of how much RAM you have. I cannot find anything stating you have to have that much, but it is highly recommended. I will keep looking.
