Not so much by decree, PCR - more by common sense, and experience!

The reason is quite simple - when manipulating large files, Windows may
require more than is allowed by an upper limit. If this happens, you will
get at best an 'out of memory' error - and at worst a system crash, which
will lose you all your current data, and may corrupt files
Leaving the upper limit off means that the upper limit is either 2GB or the
available space on the drive (whatever is smaller).

As for the MinPagingFileSize, it seems rather high to me - 200MB should be
more than enough for most purposes

I'd also query the advisability of the MaxPhysPage=40000 entry - which will
limit the amount of RAM available to the system.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q181862/
This number is only just below the 1GB threshold - unless the machine has at
least1GB of RAM installed, then this value is not only redundant, but may
confuse the system.

The MinFilecache setting is redundant.
The MaxFileCache setting limits the vcache to only 16MB -which is rather
small!

Anyhow, usually Harper or Martell will come by to put an ax to the
machine before that does happen! Yes, right, that is the normal
explanation of it, though!

Actually, I, myself, do little with this computer. I have 376 MB usable
RAM, after Video grabs 8 MB away. With a MinPagingFileSize of 200 MB, it
doesn't take much activity for me to see a Swap File SIZE of 208 MB in
System Monitor. Let's see... hmmm, can't seem to get it today.
Yesterday, I saw it though! But I'm FAIRLY sure it never went above 300
MB, when that was my MIN.

But, YEA, DEFINITELY his MinPagingFileSize=828688 is way high. I should
have seen that too. The recommendation is to set it 10%-20% above what
is seen to happen to Swap File size in System Monitor over a period of
days of normal use!

OK. I've seen varying figures for that in MS articles. No, I'd never
recommend setting it above installed RAM.

Yep. Oops, missed that, seems very small! I THINK the normal
recommendation is... 70% of installed (usable?) RAM, with an absolute
max of 524288. I have a history with that one which I'd rather not go
into, though! And you'd rather it, too!

aaawww - do tell!
(Normal thing is to leave the heck alone, unless there are problems, or you
have more than 512MB RAM installed)

It was the horrible "Massive Copy of Folders Full of Folders & Files
Using Explorer" problem... Program Files, to be precise, which is nearly
1/2 GB of them. It can cause sluggishness in Explorer afterwards & weird
START button effects such as missing items, the sluggishness similar to
the "Delete of a Massive Number of Files" problem.

In one test, I followed the 70% Rule for MaxFileCache, calculating it on
my usable RAM of 376 MB. NOT ONLY did it NOT solve the problem of huge
20-min. delays on any click Explorer-related, BUT... it caused a Swap
File USE figure to materialize!

I've already eaten today's donut & bun, & that's as far as it can get
me!

Must admit, it 's not a problem that's ever affected me, because I rarely
manipulate that number of files doing 9x stuff - XP doesn't seem to be
affected the same way - but I know it's created havoc for some.
It seems to be the number of files, rather than the size of files, that
causes the problem - in a copy/paste operation that could well be the reason
for the swapfile use, particularly of you were copying from one
disk/partition to another, rather than one folder to another.

I don't EVER copy that many in Explorer, either, except one day to test
someone else's complaint of the delete problem. I can copy some fairly
large folders, w/o having the problem, for instance, my OE Store (195,
993, 732 bytes, 21 files, 0 folders). There, just did it, & all is well.
It grew/lowered...

(a) Disk Cache Size from 71 M to 203.5 M
(b) Unused Physical Memory from 211 M to 5.4 M
(c) Swap File in USE from 0 to 2.1 M

IIRC, I had come to think it wasn't the size or number of files that
does it in a COPY. It is the number of folders & sub-folders. Also, I
more suspect the Disk Cache than the Swap File. Also, I do believe, COPY
worked much nicer with Program Files when done in a clean boot
environment (minimal apps started). However, the problem was still
there. The copy gets done, but any click Explorer-related afterwards
could require a 20-min wait! A reboot always clears it.

The DELETE problem DOES depend on number of files (not size, not
folders) & is cumulative. Delete 1000 maybe with no problem. Delete one
more & suffer, until a reboot! The delete problem always gives me an out
of resources error just before it's horrible ill effects. Deletes may be
done at a Windows DOS box with impunity, though.

As I say - It's not a problem I've ever gone into.
Chris Quirke (I think you know him??) was/is, however, interested - you may
want to get in touch with him.

Foof! I was able to COPY, in Explorer...

(a) E:\My Downloads to I:\ (separate HDD)
234,354,157 bytes, 231 files, 20 folders.
Quick. No problem. Disk Cache size did rise hugely; Unused Physical
memory lowered; no Swap File use.

(b) E:\WU to I:\
166,344,114 bytes, 185 files, 102 folders.
Quick. No real problem. Disk Cache size a little higher, Unused
Physical memory lowered to K values, Swap File USED started at 2.1 M.

(c) C:\Program Files to I:\
503,480,140 bytes, 4,873 files, 331 folders.
Eeeeeee! Slow, some freezing, & 20-minute delays began on all
Explorer-related clicks somewhere near the end! All things
non-Explorer-related such as System Monitor continued to run as normal.
Good luck getting them to show, though, as the START button IS
Explorer-related! Swap File USED grew to over 6 M. Disk Cache size at
270 M or so.

Behind all screens, indeed...

"Resources... 90% or more used... system may stop responding"

...was there! Could of been sitting back there quite a while! That is
the same message as would happen over a massive DELETE in Explorer-- but
that one shows it's face! I did not attempt to do the deletes in
Explorer, but, after a reboot, used a DOS box.

Thanks, AlmostBob. I'm sure a 3rd party app can do a huge COPY in
Windows, just as HDValet can do the DELETEs when not involving the
Recycle Bin. Yes, Yabumoto's XXCopy is likely one that can do it very
well at a DOS Prompt...
http://www.xxcopy.com/ Detailed Procedure Copy (Free)

Even a regular XCOPY does it, though perhaps not as trustworthily as
XXCopy. It took 9 mins., had a similar effect in System Monitor on those
values-- BUT Explorer afterwards seems unaffected. So are Resources
unaffected.

Somebody's been using an 'optimizer'!!! - and it's messed up their
system.ini file with a load of unnecessary crap!!
Did you take ANY notice of the comments that PCR and I made on this last
time you posted it??


Substitute the following lines for the existing [386Enh] section (there were
also a few lines that whould never have been in that section anyway!!


;MaxPhysPage=40000


;IRQ5=4096
;IRQ(5)=4096

;PageBuffers=64

device=*vpd
device=*int13
device=*enable
keyboard=*vkd
display=*vdd,*vflatd
EMMExclude=C000-CFFF,C000-CFFF
;ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1

Delete the ENTIRE contents of the [vcache] section!! - it's all redundant,
unless you have mroe than 512MB RAM installed

What the HECK are you doing with all this BS in here?? - you've set just
about every possible variant in there - and most of them seem to be wrong
(from the little reading I can find on the subject)!! - there are even typos
in there!! ("GlobalMaxTcpWindoSize" - should be "GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize") -
not to mention settings that I can find no reference for.
I suggest that you look here for some guidance
http://www.dslnuts.com/9xme.shtml (and the above typo is also present
there!!)

I think he's gone batty of XP-radiation exposure! Thankfully, I don't
have any "GlobalMaxTcpWindoSize" in Win98SE to compare.

I don't know! They don't precisely match mine! I think he is SE, though,
by that line in MSDOS.sys... WinVer=4.10.2222.
