Owen i take it as you did’nt know that XP makes the default setting of the paging file is 1 and 1/2 times the physical RAM installed on the comp and this would make the default paging file exactly 376 mb on Ellens machine with 256mb of physical RAM instaled.
If you dont believe me Google it like you normally do.

It’s exactly 384 MB actually.
What’s wrong with using Google?

So now Ellen has a combined RAM of 906 mb, 256 mb of physical RAM, and a 650 mb of (VM) and heavy usage of HDD not to mention changing the settings and performance to Windows 98, and the problems still there LMAO.

The recommended minimum size is equivalent to 1.5 times the RAM
on your computer, and 3 times that figure for the maximum size. For
example, if you have 256 MB of RAM, the minimum size is 384 MB, and
the maximum size is 1152 MB.
For best performance, do not set the initial size to less than the minimum
recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The
recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the RAM on your computer.
It is good practice to leave the paging file at its recommended size.
However, you may increase its size if you frequently use programs that
use much memory.

I didn’t advise Ellen to increase her VM, I told her where she could find
the recommended paging file size for her pc.
My post regarding performance settings merely turns off the fancy
graphics of XP. It does increase performance, it does not make XP
perform like 98!

Thanks Owen for proving you really dont know a thing.

How arrogant you are!

LMAO, sorry its not 376 its 386mb my mistake!!, but im glad you read up on that, you might of learned something. You did’nt know it was 1.5 times the RAM instaled. I did shut you up though, lmao you thought i would’nt know that.

Owen you can increase the paging file volume to max of 1152mb as i have already stated on this topic (see last page) but i guess you dont know what effects this has on the HDD (google it) and turning off the performance settings does make it look nasty and feel like Win98.

I can argue this with you all night but your trying to get someone to feed more VM RAM to an application on a system thats eating way too much RAM as it is, and you did’nt even stop to think what is eating at Ellens RAM.

In laymans terms your saying fúck what ever is causing the RAM drainage just increase the paging file and turn off your perfomance and setttings to Xp, and hopefully the errors will disappear.

BTW if you want to turn your paging file up x3 it’s highly advisable that you instal the paging file on a seperate partition on your HDD and the paging file must be kept away from the same partition your program files are instaled on , bet you did’nt know that (Google that one). Remeber when the paging file is in use a 1152mb VM is going to be constantly reading, deleting and writing 1152mb of info as quick as the transfer rate will allow, causing massive HDD usage.

Owen fixed it Ellen?.

Anyone who knows there comps would tell ya Owen has not fixed your RAM drainage, more like just hidden what ever is causing the drainage on the RAM in the first place by increasing you VM volume and getting you to turn off your graphics for XP.

I will always point out when bad advise is given, as i would expect someone to say if i was giving out bad advice. But im trying to advise you too find out where your RAM resources are going.

Ellen you really should find out what is causing so much drainage on your RAM.

LMAO, Now i will post a smug grin!. :D

See Owen, you should’nt of instructed Ellen to increase the VM volume and turn off the performance and graphics of XP, as i said all the way along in this topic you need to hunt what is causing the problem and not hide it.

I read this article about the adware/malware Ellen has been infected with.

The consequences of FunWebProducts in Windows systems are serious. These programs can cause browsers to perform slowly, can degrade overall system performance, and can damage Windows configurations. They can also cause other applications to misbehave.

Thanks for proving it once again Owen.
