I have a question about Stop
Windows from Wildly Accessing your Hard Disk:
The place I bought my computer placed an extra Ram chip for me. I now
have 240 Megs. But this is what's happening since they placed the
chip:
1. I can no longer run my programs as I did before without running out
of RAM. Run out of resources all the time.
I'm monitoring with Norton and this is what I see. The virtial
memory now has over 1685 MGs of memory. None of it is being used,
the needle stays constant. I checked in properties and the computer
is handling VM which I will change according to your guidelines.
I have Windows98SE (20Gigs)
All I have opened at the moment is the internet, Norton Utilites,
Webshot. (I used to have open Illustrator, photoshop and Kazaa before
all of this with no problems)
My readings at the moment are: GDI 38%, RAM 60 (out of 240!) free
resources 65%.
When I open vcache nothing shows up (is it hidden? I can to it to add
your guidelines of min and max as in the article) My swap files reads 126,976KB
Is there anything else that would be causing the lack of resources?
Regretfully my hardrive is not partitioned. Can I still do this without
uninstalling Windows?
I appreciate this website immensely. I have recommended to all of
my friends.
Thanks a bunch.
