Cannot change paging file

Try this
Start regedt32.exe (not regedit.exe)
Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
Double-click PagingFiles. The entry will appear as
D:\pagefile.sys 700 700
The first value is the location; the second is the minimum size; and the third is the maximum size.
Ensure the values are correct and click OK.
Reboot the machine.
or
Run regedit32 and change the location of the page file from C:\pagefile.sys to C:\windows\System32\temppf.sys
