And you know how it is. You have the best intentions and practices for save
computing but late one night, after one two many brews, that offer to
download that program sounds soooo enticing, and before you know it you're
waking up with a headache and sores on your hard drive.

Jack said:Because that will cause problems in a wide range of applications,
as Microsoft points out in about a dozen different places in their
knowledge base. XP should have a pagefile, even if it's a small
one (e.g. 64 or 128MB).
No where in computer theory or practice is a page file required.
The reason M$ uses a page file at all is because the ancient systems
didn't have enough memory to load all the programs into memory. Memory
used to be expensive...
Again, Rod I have a server loaded with Server 2003 that supports 200+
users a day and has been running without a page file for almost 3 years
now. So I do have the experience you are lacking and we have had no
problems or complaints. But I forgot you programmed with FAT12. You
and Bill eh? How is Bill by the way?

ok no where in "theory" however in " reality "... your wrong. Just off

coolsti said:Bob,
in reference to your reply and the followups in this thread, "getting rid
of Norton" is not helpful or even sound advice. I am the very first to
agree that Norton has become too overly aggressive in taking control of a
PC in its war to protect it. I hate programs that are meant to do a
service (here, protect against malware) but wind up practically taking
over the operating system. But Norton is indeed a high quality software,
and with proper tweaking of the options (as administrator) Norton will
learn to behave itself a bit.
If Norton is set up properly, or temporarily disabled (for example in
services) then it should not be the cause of the poster's excessive
hardisk activity.
One thing is definitely true today: an anti-virus software is absolutely
necessary. Norton may not be the best, I am using a freeware myself, but
something has to be there.
To the poster: I personally on another computer have Norton Anti-Virus,
but not any of the other Norton utilities. In deference to Bob's idea,
perhaps disabling a lot of Norton's various protections other than
anti-virus may be a good idea in general. I remember one time I installed
an operating system with a full version of Norton's system and was totally
irritated by its way of creating hidden recovery files on my hardisk. That
is one that I uninstalled right away.
Well I guess it doesn't help when everyone keeps posting my reply
that was made at the begining of this thread along with their comments.
That's why you keep seeing my post after all the replies listed. Learn
how to follow a thread and you won't have a problem.

Wrong.

Irrelevant to whether some systems wont work properly without it NOW.
Again, Rod I have a server loaded with Server 2003 that supports 200+
users a day and has been running without a page file for almost 3 years now.
Irrelevant to what happens with some desktop PC apps.
So I do have the experience you are lacking
Wrong, as always. I've been doing it since before you were even born thanks child.
and we have had no problems or complaints.
Irrelevant to what happens with some desktop PC apps with no swap file.
But I forgot you programmed with FAT12.
I never ever said anything even remotely resembling
anything like that, you pathetic excuse for a bullshit artist.
You and Bill eh? How is Bill by the way?
Never ever could bullshit its way out of a wet paper bag.

In this case it's justified, Randy. He's correct, you're wrong. Running
WinXP without a pagefile is not a good idea. It accomplishes nothing
performance-wise, and WILL cause problems in a wide range of
applications, from Photoshop to many high-end 3D games.

No need to ask you that, the answer is obvious.

Jack,
Have you ever tried?
Although I do agree with you, modern programs are built to look for a
page file. I disagree because I am running photoshop right now, they
will work with out one.
That window that tells you your virtual memory is too low is just a
warning afterall.
There is a reason I make good money and my Servers are still running
after all these years.
As for Rod, you're right too. Full of BS. Never has been able to tell
the truth.

You just ignored the warning...NOW do something with it. And heres a
thought, get over your 'server' mantra will ya...it proves NOTHING.
