Windows reports "Out of Memory" despite huge pagefile

How to force Windows to use the swap file to the fullest?


I use Windows 7 64-bit and I have 16 GB of RAM + 8 GB (static) pagefile.


When I open many Chrome tabs, and the physical memory is almost full (according to Task Manager which shows only RAM), I start getting "Out of Memory" errors.


When this happens I have to bookmark some of the Chrome tabs to read them later, which is time-consuming and simply annoying.


What needs to be done to increase the size of available memory with the help of pagefile? I know that pagefile is slower, but I don't care.
