Page file setting

Nov 20, 2003 11:42PM PST

I recently was getting an error while working in Corel Draw on a fairly large file that said "temp drive full." After asking on the corel newsgroups, increasing the pagefile size was recommended. I'm ruunig XP Home on a P4, 2.53, 512MB RAM, 40GB master, 80GB slave. Current setting is 768MB min., 1536MB max. on drive C (it says it's custom, but I didn't set it, maybe Dell did).

What are the recommended settings and would it be beneficial to use two PFs on two different drives? I do quite a lot of photo editing, drawing page layout, etc.

Thanks,
Craig

Since this is known problem with initial release on CorelDRAW8, build 232. Download and install patches to 369 and 433 from ftp.corel.com/pub/CorelDRAW or wherever they keep such things now is advised.

No amount of fiddling with the OS seemed to cure that one.

Bob,

This is Draw 11 with SP1. Are ther basic settings for the FP or should I just let XP do its thing?

Corel seems to trip over this one repeatedly. I've found letting XP manage the page file to be fine and a run of DISK CLEANUP to be required if you use the machine a lot.

The issue seems to be a Corel'ism, so do look in their support pages.
