Hi,

I am writing one application for Windows PE using vc++6.0 as

development platform. I am allocating memory using

virtualalloc as:

VirtualAlloc (pPtrToMem, //NULL

dwSize,

MEM_COMMIT,

PAGE_READWRITE);

This is running fine on Win2k, but if I try to run this on

Windows PE, i am getting an error as "paging file is too

small to complete this operation(ERROR_COMMITMENT_LIMIT)"

can anybody tell me how to increase pagefile limit in Windows PE? or is there any other reason?

Any help is welcome.

Thanks

What version of PE are you using Microsoft or Bart?

I think 1.2, its not mentioned specifically anywhere in the documentation i have

This is mainly due to PE not having a pagefile, you can add a ram drive though and try to diect it there.

I want to test the total available memory in the system & thats why using VirtualAlloc, so how can a ram drive will help me in this? is there any other way to get the total available system meory & pointer yo starting location(smthing like INT15 h in DOS)

Now that I understand where you are going with this, I honestly don't know I would try to hit up the MS news groups on that one.

So what did you do to make it work since there is no pagefile in PE?
