What is resetting my swap file setting to "allow windows98 to manage
virtual memory" from "allow user to manage virtual memory"?

Every week it seems like when I check my virtual memory settings I find
that it has reverted back to "allow windows to manage virtual memory." I
like to set my own swap file size, and for years 3 or 4 years this
setting stuck.

But I installed (and later unistalled) Media Player 7 about three weeks
ago. Now something (MP7?) keeps changing it back to allow windows to
manage. What is resetting my virtual memory and how do I stop it? I
have not installed any new sowthware recently. Thanks. PS (MP7 screwed
up my computer in more ways than one.)

After you select user and set the min/max and reboot, Windows will manage it
with the limits set by the user.
If you set the min/max to 500MB or whatever, then that is what Windows will do.
What numbers did you put in the min and max boxes?
Do they change?
