I need help on reducing my page file usage.</p> Programes are now running very slowly at times, with some shutting down unnanounced ( I think due to memory issues)</p> Any tips to speed this up again or any software to help with RAM issues?</p> Currently it says its running the Pf usage is 852mb, with the line next to it (on task manager) right at the top of the graph) </p>
Not so much of an option at the moment unfortunately</p> I want to reduce the number of processes being run, but most of them listed mean nothing to me, besides the obvious - firefox, front page, excel etc </p>
Do the usual stuff (delete temporary files, disk cleanup, defragment etc.) and have a butchers at this:</p> http://www.petri.co.il/pagefile_optimization.htm </p> There are freeware programs out there that you can use to clean up yer PC as well, sure as the registry cleaner and internet window washer from Eusing.</p> http://www.eusing.com/index.html </p>
You've asked what I have been wondering today I use an old laptop around the house mainly for wireless connection to the internet when I'm away from the my desktop machine. It only has a 366 mhz processor and 128 mb RAM but it was running ok until I allowed it to download the latest windows updates. One of the 28 updates it installed was Internet Explorer 7 and since then it's gone really slow. Would doubling the RAM make much difference to the speed or am I flogging a dead horse with a 366mhz processor. And how do you get to the memory modules on a laptop?
These should be used with caution.... ...registry cleaners shouldn't be used as a 'black box'. The free ones are sometimes too efficient and delete useful files. I know Windy rates the Eusing and CCleaner (I think, apologies if I'm wrong) and hasn't had difficulties, but a trawl of the pc technical websites is worth while before you use them imho.
RE: get rid of if you need to free up some memory, this is an excellent programme http://skydrive.live.com
