Tip how you can fix your page file.

When you will run defrag there is a file who Windows defrag not can fix. This file is the page file. The program can’t defrag open files and the page file is always open. If the page file is fragmented it will affect the performance. Do follow for to defrag the page file:

1. Right click on My computer choose Properties
2. Choose Advanced, click on Performance3. On Performance, click Settings
4. Click on Advanced. Click on the button Change
6. Remove the Page file thought clicking on No page file. Click then on Activate. See after so no partition has any page file if you have 2 or moor partitions.
7. Click OK on all open square
8. Restart your computer and run defrag as usual.
9. When defrag has got to end, activate a new on the same plats.
10. Set a new own size for the Page file on both Original and Maximal size for prevent the page file to be fragmented to quickly.
11. Choose Ok and back out from all open squares. If Windows prompt for a reboot, do so.

I created a small dedicated partition just for the pagefile, and set the page file to a fixed size, putting the minimum and maximum value the same (1 gigabyte). That way it never gets fragmented for sure.

Perfect Disk from Raxco can defragment the page file and also the MFT (which windows cannot do, no matter what) on NTFS drives, in a special offline mode.
I personally have a 1.5gb swap file on an old 2gb HD

This is not totally acurate. Sure it cannot defrag it but windows can reset it clean and fresh and therefore you have a defragmented page file.

If anyone is interested in how this is achieved properly. I will put the solution in here. But I see this thread has been dead for some time. So you may not care.

AquaJoe,

Please post your solution. Although there are many "experts" in these forums, there are always people ready to learn.

It might even provoke a response from an "expert" :D
