Paging is set through Windows. Setting it is different for the various versions
of Windows; you usually start by right-clicking "My Computer" and choosing
properties.

However, a rule of thumb is that paging space should be about double the amount
of physical RAM which still isn't going to be very much. Your computer sounds a
little under-specified in the RAM department for engine-engine matches.
