Is this safe? please please help me.

so im getting a internal error in idirect 3d and i found this. tell me if its safe please..


ok this is a simple fix and i stumbled upon it while searching other forums for a os page pool memory problem.
BE WARNED THIS SOLUTION, IF NOT DONE CORRECTLY MAY BE HARMFUL TO YOUR COMPUTER.
Heres the solution:
Start Menu > Run > regedit

Surf down to this key. The REG_DWORD "PagedPoolSize"
Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

Double click on "PagedPoolSize". Hexadecimal is listed first.
Change the "Value Data" to one of these below:
Note: You only need to enter EITHER Hexadecimal or Decimal.
They both are the same. I recomend using 256Mb should solve the problem.
Code:

Megabytes Hexadecimal Decimal
192Mb 0c000000 201326592
256Mb 10000000 268435456
384Mb 18000000 402653184

You do not need anything bigger than

hi,

tweaking or changing your registry is a 'proceed with caution' task as each computer will behave differently after the change. it is best that no matter how simple or small the change is, that you have to backup that registry entry (export it to a folder or desktop) before you make any changes. this is advised because as i said, there is no telling how your computer will take the change.

so to answer your question if it is safe... frankly there are no guarantees until you make the change.

to export the registry to a folder, right click on that registry entry (the one you will change) and click EXPORT. it will ask you for the name and where (i.e. Desktop) to put the exported file. it will create a .reg file on your chosen folder (i.e. Desktop).

as for the error, give full details of the error that you see. i am pretty sure if someone in the forum is familiar with it, you will get some replies and ideas on how to approach and resolve.
