Why do you want to change your page file settings?

With 4GB you probably won't need to dip into the page file... just leave it...

since you have 4Mb theres really no need to change the page because you wont see any change, its differences are seen when you have like 512mb RAM, atm i very much doubt your system is running out of RAM at any time.

just leave it where it is. the page isnt used when your running out of RAM. mostly what its used for is moving things from RAM that are idle to the pagefile, thus freeing up RAM and giving you more to work worth.
