Hi,
Not sure why you are monitoring the “control panel applet” for the rebooting notification.
When you click “OK” button on the Virtual Memory dialog, you should receive a popup message box of “The change you have made require you to restart your computer before they can take effect”. After closing the “System Properties” dialog, you should see another
message box with the option of “Restart Now” and “Restart Later”. Did you see these while making the update?
What if you go ahead and reboot the machine, will you see the changes applied?
