How to decrease page file usage

[Drogbaa]

Hi,
I have windows xp installed on my PC. My system's page file usage is very high. It results in slower speed of functioning of the system. Can anyone help me to decrease the page file usage to normal?

Thank you in advance.

You need to upgrade the ram. It can be a spyware infection. Run good anti-malware and anti-spyware applications. If you want to decrease page file usage, you need more ram.

• Under Virtual Memory, click Change

Try to set your pagefile size to static. Windows need pagefile of minimum of 2 MB to work properly. If you run out of memory, you will get a message of your Windows System like "not enough memory to run"
