Paging - File Collision Alarm

This alarm becomes active when there is more than one paging file on a single physical disk.

This can cause performance degradation – especially on IDE disks. IDE disks allow only a single disk operation to be active on the bus at any time.

To rectify this:

1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
2. Double-click System.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Select Performance Settings, and change the paging file allocations.

Tip: You can configure this alarm to ignore certain values. See "Configure an Alarm to Ignore Certain Values" (page 1) for more information.
