I've been running Vista and Seven without a page file for a long time, without any issues. Recently, I had a need to activate the page file, and did so reluctantly, with the goal being that disable it when the program is no longer used.
Just for the kick of it, I've tested the page file usage...
So many different "recommendations" - which is best and why
1) Keep page file on C: drive system managed
2) Keep page file on C: fixed small size if you have lots of ram
3) Move page file to another drive, system sized
4) Set 2nd system managed page file on a second drive, small page file on...
When my system boots I get a message that there is no paging file and windows will set a tempoary one. I have 4 gigs of ram so I go through the procedure of setting a page file size and reboot after which I get the same message. Can someone tell me what I must do to correct this?
Thanks, Bob
I bought a Netbook with one 150GB/5400 rpm and one 4 GB/SSD. XP was pre-installed on the SSD drive, I had to install Windows 7 on the platter drive.
I want to put the SSD to good use. If I use it for paging, will the performance degrade over time? The SSD is probably a Gen.1 drive so it doesn't...
