Any suggestions on this, I'm stuck. Initially the problem was stopping me from using on-board GFX, but now it's stopping me from using a Soundblaster LIve.
I've discovered that if you use MaxPhysPage to limit the RAM, then install a device that uses system memory, e.g. onboard GPU or SBLive Windows disables the pagefile.
I have 2GB ram installed (multiboot system), I'm using MaxPhysPage=2000 and MaxFileCache=65536, it's a P4/i865G. If I install drivers for the SB Live, it uses some of the physical memory to store the soundfont file. Windows reports 510MB physical memory instead of 512MB and paging is always disabled. I have exactly the same issue when using the onboard GPU.
I now seem to be in a situation where after uninstalling the SBLive drivers I'm still stuck with 510MB RAM and no pagefile. Previously uninstalling the onboard GPU drivers did fix the issue.
