virtual paging

[emms]

I'm running a cold fusion aplication on a server running windows 2000. recently we've been having a problem with the size of the virtual memory, it seems to rapidly expand until cold fusion server is stopped and started. however this does not return the paging file to a reasonable size.

At the moment we have a 2GB hard drive with a 1.5GB paging file.

if this doesn't suggest anything to you could you tell me how to reduce the size of the paging file to something more reasonable (and suggest a reasonable size)

as you can probably guess i'm not entirely sure where to go from here so any help would be appreciated

thanks

How much RAM do you have on the server?

Is the 2GB drive a dedicated page file drive? Is it mirrored?

ok the drive size is 2.75GB, this is not a dedicated page file drive, I know its small but we're reluctant to put more into the computer because of this problem

the paging file is 1.03GB

and the RAM is 523,808KB

the drive is not mirrored
