How did you "try" to move it?
1.2 G seems high unless you have a huge amount of RAM and/or are opening everything
you can think of at once...
To move it to another drive, use the System icon in Control Panel.
Click on the C: drive and set min and max to 0, then click on the drive you want
it on and set it how you want it (try to set min and max the same and about 1-1/2
times the size of your RAM).
Then reboot.
If the pagefile.sys still shows on the C: drive, try to delete it...
Good Luck
