why dont you just disable the paging ? and see if it helps.


He has nowhere near enough RAM for that. Anyway, some software is designed to expect paging to be there, and will spaz out and cause various problems, including freezes, if you do that, or even if your page file is too small.

Better yet, if disabling paging causes problems, re-enabling it can cause problems too sometimes.

In Vista x64, when I learned the joys of Windows not liking disabled paging files and tried to re-enable it, I kept getting freezes, and had to reformat.


I never had an issue with disabling the page file either, on my 2gb system :p Except for, you know, out-of-memory issues

Well, maybe my PC just hates me, the evidence may be anecdotal and circumstantial, but there's a decent amount of it.

There's certainly better evidence that it's a paging issue than there is that paging on an HDD is almost as fast as RAM, or whatever that one silly idea was.

Either way, I'd still put money on the OP's issue being paging speed, and all he needs to do is pretty much what's been said 3-4 times now, google processes and kill stuff he doesn't need, and deactivate stupid shit in startup manager.
