Ricoh A741 manual Size of paging file, PC bios setting

2.6Size of paging file

Windows can simulate more memory than physically available in the machine. The additional memory is simulated by means of a paging file on the harddisk. Please make sure that the size of this paging file is set correctly, minimum 300Mb, maximum size 500Mb.

How to set/check?

Goto the 'control panel' and start the 'System' applet, select the 'Performance' tab and set/check the minimum and maximum values.

2.7PC bios setting

Unlike Windows '95, Windows NT 4.0 is not a plug-and-play operating system. To avoid potential problems with the setup of the PCI cards, we have to set the PC bios not to expect a PnP operating system. The bios will then take care of the Interrupt and DMA assignments.

How to set/check?

NOTE: This procedure will work on many Mainboards, systems like DELL, Compaq etc. have their own way of entering the BIOS setup and BIOS settings. Some systems do not offer this setting or it is located at a different location as described below.

•At power-up selftest hit the DEL key.

•Look for the PCI/PNP settings

•Check if there is a setting like 'PnP aware OS' or 'PnP enabled OS', change this setting to 'No' or 'Disabled'.
