Increasing the Registry Size Limit

Windows IT Pro
InstantDoc ID #39100

I have a Windows 2000 machine that's giving me a problem. When I boot and log on to the machine, it displays the following error message: Your maximum registry size is too small. To ensure that Windows runs properly, increase your registry size. How can I correct this error?

The solution is to increase the Registry Size Limit (RSL) value. Open the Control Panel System applet and go to the Advanced tab. Click Performance Options, then click Change (in the Performance Options dialog box's Virtual Memory section). The Virtual Memory dialog box, which Figure 2 shows, contains the RSL settings. Increase the value in the Maximum registry size (MB) text box; I recommend at least twice the Current registry size value. You'll need to reboot the machine for the changes to the RSL value to take effect.

    For the less informed, one step was left out in these directions. Between Control Panel and Advance Tab you should click on the System icon to get to System Properties. Thanks for in the info.

    Yes indeed. You certainly are the best AND you were the first hit with google. I've forgotten how to spell MS let alone use it. Google will be my favorite ALL the time.
