I've just cut and pasted this from the windows help files:-
- To open Computer Management, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.
- You must be recognized as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group on your computer and on the computer you are managing to perform this task.
- You can view or change system properties on a remote computer or a local computer. To access a remote computer, right-click Computer Management (Local), click Connect to another computer, and then select the computer you want to connect to in the list.
- For best performance, set the initial size to not less than the recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your system.
- Usually, you should leave the paging file at its recommended size, although you might increase its size if you routinely use programs that require a lot of memory.
- To delete a paging file, set both initial size and maximum size to zero.
To change the size of the virtual memory paging file
- Open Computer Management (Local).
- In the console tree, right-click Computer Management (Local), and then select Properties.
- On the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, and under Virtual memory, click Change.
- In the Drive list, click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.
- Under Paging file size for selected drive, type a new paging file size in megabytes in the Initial Size (MB) or Maximum Size (MB) box, and then click Set. If you decrease the size of either the minimum or maximum page file settings, you must restart your computer to see the effects of those changes. Increases generally do not require a restart.
NotesOnce you've set your virtual memory to satisfaction. Just plug your usb flash drive in and watch the bottom right hand corner of the screen. You'll see a couple of process messages the last of which will be "your device is now ready".
What may also happen is a window pops up and asks you how you want to view the files on your device and offer a few programmes with which to do it.
If its data for transfer, click on the folder option, its then just a case of dragging and clicking files over to your computer or vice versa.
If you're still not happy, click on to "Youtube" and search for "How to use a USB drive". There are several good video intruction files there.
For that first remove all temp files from computer.
Press windows key +R key so you can see run you can also see run in start menu.Click on run and type in run "%tmp% without ""then press enter then remove all temp files.Type in "prefetch" without "" then press ok then remove all prefetch files.
Then right click on my computer icon click on property then click on advanced tab then click on settings of performance then click on advanced tab then click on "change" button of virtual memory then click on custom size and set initial size to maximum size then apply and ok.
Also type in run "chkdsk /r" without "" then press "y" in back screen.
Then restart computer then it fix error on harddrive and recover errors.
Then it will work fine.
Also increase RAM memory if your ram memory is less than 1 GB.
You can check your ram memory size in my computer property.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
