Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System (scroll down) > Advanced Tab > Performance section (click Settings button) > in Performance Options dialog, click Advanced > in Virtual Memory section, click Change button > Custom Size radio button > enter (this is a wild guess) 1.5x your total computer RAM in the first field and 3x in your second field > Click OK > OK > OK.

REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER before running Hoster again.

Page file should be set at least 5-10% of your hard drive space on your windows drive. So if you have a 120gig HD it should be a min of 12000 megs at 10% Windows will give you a max that you can not go over. At least in my Windows book from school (4 years old now) recomends that. I am running at almost 3gigs for my pagefile but I have a 120gig HD partitioned in 2-60gig drives.

The admin gave the instructions for Windows Xp I am sure.. because it was not the same way for windows 2000.

For a windows 2000 machine:
Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System (scroll down) > Advanced Tab > Performance section (click performance options button) > Virtual Memory Section (Click Change... button) > You will then see a lit of your hard drives. Highlight your main windows drive > type in initial size to somewhere around 5% of your hard drive max space and in Maximum to somewhere around 10% of your max hard drive space > Click set button to the right of the two boxes. I set mine on a 60 gig drive to 2500MB and 4095MB (4095 was the most windows would allow me to set) > Click OK > Click Ok > Click Ok > Close and save all programs and then reboot... Really should not have to reboot but in Hosters sake I would to be safe to know that all settings have been changed.
