Solve : paging file issue?

Answer»

hi friends,

i have 512MB of RAM, I have disabled the paging file allocation in each drive consequently i often get an error when I run any new application while some others are already running:

there is not enough memory to run this application

I know the cause, but I want that there should no longer be use for paging file as i have enough RAM so that I could experience higher SPEED, if I am going right.

should I keep paging file allocated in each drives, (by the way which particular drive I should keep this in).
if not then how can i correct this error(described above) using RAM only?Page File doesn't use RAM, it uses VIRTUAL Memory (on your Hard Disk)

What is your current Virtual Memory set to?

What Operating System is this?I would add another 512 STICK of RAM and set the pagefile to 768MG...Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on JANUARY 01, 2009, 09:48:24 AM

Isn't the answer obvious. Clearly, you need to use one or more paging files. Here's a good reference on paging files: http://www.theeldergeek.com/paging_file.htm Be sure to view the other pages; see the links below the content of the page.Ah, sorry. MISREAD the post.No matter how much RAM you have installed, you need a pagefile! Windows XP can act really strangely with no pagefile, and 512 MB physical RAM is not very much for XP.
