What I do on established systems is to remove the (variable size) pagefile
(and if available put a fixed one on a different disc) and re-boot. This
gets rid of the original (fragmented) pagefile (and if there is no pagefile
on an alternative drive, a very slow machine. 

I /then/ configure a large fixed size pagefile, at least twice the memory
size on the original disc.
