Open the registry editor. That's done by going to Run, then type in "regedit."
In the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
Double click on "PagedPoolSize". Hexadecimal is listed first. Change the Value "Data" to one of these below:
Note: You only need to enter EITHER Hexadecimal or Decimal. They both are the same but of a different data type.
Megabytes Hexadecimal Decimal
192Mb 0c000000 201326592
256Mb 10000000 268435456
384Mb 18000000 402653184
You do not need anything bigger than 400Mb... in most cases 300Mb is too much as well. The bigger the number, the more memory you devote to the Paged Pool.
Once you are done, make sure you reboot your computer to apply the settings.
To make things easier for you, you may want to download this ZIP package. It includes ready-to-run .reg files for all settings mentioned above:
