I have an odd problem with my page file getting fragmented. I have XP Pro,
SP2, 2.0G Pentium 4, and just upgraded from 1.25G to 1.5G of memory. I
always adjust my page file to 1.5 x min 3 x max. I always keep my drive
defragged and never had a problem. I also use Pagedefrag and have never seen
my page file with more than 2 fragments - ever. After adding in more RAM
and adjusting my page file, I ran chkdsk and defrag, then checked Pagedefrag
and saw my PF had 14 fragments!

I tried deleting the PF, defragging the drive then recreating a new PF, 9
fragments! So I have temporarily resolved the problem by setting the PF
static 1.5x min and 1.5x max.

What could be causing my PF to fragment so? I don't do gaming on this PC and
have scanned it for viruses and spyware, both of which came up clean.
