You can change the page file size by doing:

  • Control Panel\All Control Panel Items -> System
  • On the left pane, select "Advanced system settings"
  • In the dialog that pops up, press the "Settings..." button in the "Performance" section
  • In the dialog that pops up, select the "Advanced" tab
  • In the "Virtual memory" section, press the "Change ..." button

Set it to whatever you want as long as it's over 1GB. But do not disable the page file.
