metalink 657456.992 seems to show your problem exactly.  Says "What I
did find though, is whomever setup the Windows server set it up as a
File Server. I removed that option and now my Oracle process is using
6 gigs of memory (5 for SGA, 500 megs for PGA and then some over
head) ...My Page File Usage% is now at 1%."

Whatever that means.  What didn't work for the guy was
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/win.101/b10113/ap_6...
which tells how to grant the privilege to lock things in memory, so
I'm wondering if the real solution was something else that guy did
while fiddling about.

Since I'm a unix bigot, this is all just academic entertainment for
me.

To find the referenced document in metalink, log in there and click on
Advanced Search, and put 657456.992 in the document id box.
