Page File Usage

[Guest EricPaul]

I'm in a quandry over page file usage...

 

I have a Windows 2003 server that has 4GB of RAM. Using performance

counters it seems that the Pagefile has been set by the OS to 3.2 GB.

I am getting Virtual Memory errors and the page file is filling up,

but there is still RAM available. The page file will be full but task

manager still shows that there is roughly 3GB of RAM available.

 

I know the system always uses some virtual memory but it seems odd to

run out of virtual memory before you run out of real RAM.

 

Has anyone else had a problem like this? Am I missing something?
