Its not that clever actually. Messages about shortage of virtual memory
are quite common and are normally cured by removing that tick and setting
the virtual memory size to at least 50% above actual memory size.


If the system is hitting the pagefile to any great extent, the best
thing to do is to add more memory, not fart about with the pagefile
settings.


Doesn't work in systems that are already at max memory. Resetting is much
cheaper than a new machine for someone whose present machine does all they
need.
