WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk. SYMPTOMSWhen the static Drive Letter in Disk Manager is changed from the logical drive that Windows NT is presently installed on, the following error message appears:
"Limited Virtual Memory Your system is running without a properly sized paging file. Please use the virtual memory option of the System applet in the Control Panel to create a paging file, or to increase the initial size of your paging file." RESOLUTIONNOTE: Although you can perform the following steps 1-5 through the User Interface, use the Registry editor to perform steps 7-14.
MORE INFORMATIONAlthough the System Environment Variables change, and the PAGEFILE.SYS file is located on the drive that you have changed the drive letter of, it never gets updated in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine subtree after restarting:
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Managementunder the key value PagingFiles:REG_MULTI_SZ:. It also does not change the Users Environment Variables or the Default Environment Variable setting.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1 and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
