Modify [Initial Size] in the [Paging file size for selected drive] box to a value larger than [Recommended],
and click [Set].
IMPORTANT:
The above-mentioned paging file size is recommended for collecting debug
information (memory dump). A paging file with an initial size large enough to store
the dump file in the boot drive is required.
Correct debug information might not be collected due to a virtual memory shortage
when the paging file is insufficient, so set a paging file size large enough for the entire
system.
For more information on the "Recommended" value, see "About the System Partition
Size" described earlier.
If the memory is expanded, re-specify the paging file to suit the new memory size.
