re: page file on USB Wednesday, May 21, 2008 at 5:26 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Spexx (1955 messages posted) Interesting. I have never seen this issue before since I would not advocate the use of an external drive to hold the pagefile, mostly for the simple reason that it is too easily disconnected and doing so will crash your system. I think what might be happening is that Vista is closing down the usb interface before finishing with the pagefile and thus the system crashes, while XP behaves in a different way. Only guessing though - just a brain fart for you. Hope this helps. Cheers. Spexx. You are not paranoid. They really do have it in for you.
