Should I enable paging file when I have 2GB of RAM?

Nope, leave it enabled. I believe that Photoshop requirers one to work properly anyways. It is said that your paging file should be twice the size of the amout of ram. But I think if you get to 2gb of ram, you don't need a 4gb paging file. I would just leave yours the way it is.

I agree with dan totally.
I use photoshop alot, so my page file is set to minimum 6144 and maximum 12288.
Depending on what your doing really influences the amount of page file you'll need.

For basic 3800x2500 work, Minimum 1gb is plenty.
But if your working above and beyond the tens of thousands of pixels, a few more gigs will help.
