    Odd happenings with Pagefile.sys


    Hi, i'm having this weird thing going on with my pagefile... What's going on is every time i go to Recourse Moniter pagefile is at the top of the Disk page, but it's not doing anything. it's writing, but normally when its there my pc gets REALLY slow. I'm saying its a problem, (i think) i'm just curious why its there. EDIT: Btw no my knowledge this is the only time this has happened

    You might want to try Process Monitor to see what apps are using the file.

    There is nothing to install - just download/open the zip and copy the files somewhere.

    Run Process Monitor as admin.
    Stop the data collection via Ctrl-E
    Open the filter via Ctrl+L

    Once the list of default filters appear, scroll down to one that mentions:
    Path > ends with > pagefile.sys
    Double click on that row to put it into the edit state.
    In upper right, change Exclude to Include.
    Click on Add.
    Click on Apply.
    "OK" your way out of the filters.

    Start the data collection via Ctrl-E

As I said, I have a strange 'bug' that is quite annoying. When I hover over an icon at the bottom, and I go to click on a window from the pop-up screen, as soon as I move my mouse to click on one, the pop-up screen disappears. Another time I find this is when I click my volume icon on the...
This morning I was cleaning my W7 with CCleaner. After cleaning I opened the registry cleaner to see if there was any problems - nothing. Then I opened Tools which shows installed programs with uninstaller options. I found about 20 entries for the Catalyst Control Center with most of the entries...
