Windows XP, there was a registry setting that when set prevented the Kernel from being paged out to the swapfile. I don't remember what this specific key was, but does anybody know of a similar setting for Vista x64?

But I saw that AVG had an Uninstall as part of their program....so I used it. (My second mistake!)
Now, whenever I start up.....a window appears: "AVG Anti-Virus System. Could not initialize AVG Anti-Virus kernel interface." How can I get rid of this window?

It tells me to insert my installation disc and restart your computer however when I do that I go right back to the previous screen which I just described. I already changed the boot order to boot from the DVD drive first however it continues to skip this screen and keeps looping to the same screen. Does anyone know another way to load my disc so I can continue with the repair?.
"I think the most disappointing thing for me is that part of me wants to like Vista, because there are a lot of interesting APIs and kernel features that really do improve system performance and make it easier to write for Windows" Many of them even work on older computers, and I doubt these features are why Vista is bloated. That is why I suggested trimming down Vista once.

I had 4GB physical memoryon the PC. With Windows vista 32 bit, available memory is shown as 3.3GB. I asked and was told that only under 64 bit windows, will the available memory be 4GB. When I upgraded to windows 7, I chosed 64 bit, but the available memory shown in the system is still 3.3 GB. Why is this and is there a way to make the full 4GB available? It's possible that my video card is using RAM instead of its own RAM. If I install a video card with its own RAM, will the full 4GB be available?

The machine is new, and I was trying out some apps and games, I was in Secondlife when I got an error messege saying I was out of memory and needed to free up memory. I shut down the app and restarted it. Runs but I watched Task manager and saw my free memory down to almost nothing after an hour or so. The cached seems very high.
I did alittle research and decided to set a second page file on my 1TB hard drive, (OS is on the other HHD's )( regulated by system for size ) I'm not really sure whats going on. Example of just task manager and this page openis attached. Again, any help would be great in getting the memory set up on here optimal.
I have 6gigs of DDR3 memory at 1600hz. Running on Vista 64bit and every now and again my memory performance just maxes out. The problem can occur around the time when I am installing something but I dont think its always this way. I have read forums where it could be the hardrives performing self diagnostics. I have all the latest patches for vista.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm running Vista 64 Home (SP1) Premium on a homebuilt machine w/8GB (4 X 2GB modules). Windows is reporting 8 GB of Installed Physical Memory but is reporting only 4 GB of Total Physical Memory. I first noticed this when, after installing a game, the game system specs said 3092 MB of RAM.
I have checked the BIOS and it recognizes 8 GB. Memory Remapping is Enabled. Under Memory Remapping is "PCI MMIO Allocation: 4GB to 3328 MB" (?). MSConfig Boot Options shows Max Memory is not checked and no value in the box below. I tried enabling it and using 8192 as the value, but it made no difference. DxDiag shows 8 GB installed RAM. how I can get windows to make available all 8 GB of RAM?

I have Vista Ultimate x64 Extreme, with 8 GB of memory, Q9300, and 2 velociraptors. I do NOT overclock, but would like Vista to use more of the memory. Typical load usage of memory is 2GB - about 25% of my total memory Maximum use of memory was 3GB - I would rather have Vista use memory than to use swap file. How can I get this done?

everytime i try to access a folder on my external hard drive (Toshiba 2.0 USB), it freezes explorer and and error message comes up saying out of memory, but i can't read it all because most of the window is just black.
also, before all of this started my NVidia graphics had a message pop up saying the NVIDIA Display Panel Extension cannot be created.
Possible reasons include:
Version mismatch. Reinstalling display drivers may solve this problem.
i've tried to download drivers but the only place to find them are on lenovo support and they didnt help
I am putting together a new build and since PC-6400 DDR2 is sooo cheap I thought I might consider 8GB on an X38 board. I already have 2x2GB dimms, and was guessing if I went to 8GB it might be nice to have 4 identical DIMMS, which are still available (ie, another 2x2gb of the pair I have now). Anyone have wisdom about this? My main uses NOW are MS Flight Simulator, Gigastudio, and both of those benefit from at least 3GB, beyond that I don't know. I don't forsee video editing.

I just got Vista this april for the first time Vista Ultimate 64 bit to be precise. It came with a new computer that has 4GB of Ram...which I thought would be plenty, but apparently not? Right now I have 4 programs running: Sony Vegas, Zune, Firefox and MS Word. Including all the background tasks like firewalls and all that good stuff, it says I'm using 2.65 GB memory. Ok I still have about 1.4 GB left right? Wrong...I have 12 MB?
2000 MB are cached. Whats up with that? Now Sony Vegas keeps crashing because I dont have enough ram and I cant open Windows media Player because I dont have enough ram....What happened to all my memory?
i have 4 gig of memory on my pc. i reinstall my vista. after the installation, my machine said that i only have 3gig. where is my remaining 1 gb (i put 4gb) on it. before i reinstall it my pc read my 4gb:o of RAM. but now 3gb only.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've spent the last 2 weeks trying to confirm this. With Vista 32bit SP1, is it true that it will not only see the 4 gigs of ram installed, but use all 4 gigs as well? I've had gamers tell me that the OS will show the 4 gigs installed, but that was the only thing Sp1 did. It still can use only around 3.21 gigs.
I've also had system builders say that Vista 32bit SP1 will both show the 4 gigs, and use ALL 4 gigs. Both swear that they are right and the others don't know what they're talking about. I've built a new gaming rig and I have an OEM copy of Vista HP SP1 32 bit, and I want to be sure that I'm not wasting the 4 gigs I have installed, but I can't seem to get a consistent answer from everybody.
only controversy. Even two different MS MVP's gave me two different answers. I'm almost to the point of calling MS tech. support and asking for their best Vista tech. specialist to find out for sure. This is getting ridiculous.
I am currently running both Vista 64 and Vista 32 on two different drives and I notice that when booted, 64 uses almost 1.2 gig of RAM while 32 uses only about 800meg when booted. The only thing I have on 64 that I don't on 32 is iTunes and the Adobe CS3 suite. Is this normal? If so, why does 64 use more memory than 32? I do have superfetch on for both installs - could it be this that is using the extra memory - preloading iTunes/CS3 apps maybe?

I use a G15 logitech keyboard which has a CPU and RAM monitor built into the LED window on the keyboard. This monitor tells me that I am usually using only 20% of my ram.

Alright with many games that I'm playing with. There are a few things that are going on that I'm not liking. Yes I know I play Gunz The Duel, and it seems like there is screen lag or something, maybe a delay, not sure what to call it. People were telling me about all the Services that Vista uses slows it down or such like that. Is that true? Or is there another way to fix it. I also play Crysis, and problem with that game, is that it isn't using all of my RAM or memory? It only uses so much, and just leaves the rest alone. Anyway way to make it use more? Also the game supports Dual processors. I have Quad, is there a way to make it use all four of them? Also just with any games, is there a way to just make the games run faster at all without killing the graphic, cause I know my PC can handle the graphics, it just seems like my PC isnt using everything that I put into it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty new to vista since I got my hp laptop(vista home premium x64)and I've noticed that it tends to eat up some memory. I opened up task manager before and i was using 31% after startup and after I open up a few applications and run for a bit it seems not to go much lower than 35%. Right now the only application I have running is firefox and I'm using 40%. granted there is processes running in the background such as hp stuff, anti-virus, and anti-spyware stuff along with rocketdock. but that stuff is also on after startup. Is vista always eating this much memory up like this for everyone? also, is there anyway to use less?

When I go into the Task Manager, it shows Physical Memory (MB) Total 3581, Cached 2730 and only 56 Free. Is this my problem? I have a long list of processes and services running and I'm sure I don't need all of this running at the same time. This could also be causing my problem, but not sure.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using an Acer Aspire 5290G laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium. The laptop has 2GB RAM but I have been getting Low Memory warnings after which I have had to reload Windows. At the time the only not automatic applications running are Norton Internet Security, Messenger, iTunes and iPlayer from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
I've tried increasing the virtual memory size to min 4096Mb, max 6144Mb so I'm hoping the problem will go away but it would be useful to know whether this is some kind of known fault or if it is just that Vista is so demanding! I had been running a similar or greater load quite happily under XP Pro on another laptop with only 512Mb RAM. The only intentional difference is that this laptop is running Norton Internet Security whereas the old one was running F-Secure. If the problem persists, is it worth me adding more physical RAM and/or trying a further increase in virtual memory?
I have an 8GB machine running Vista Ultimate x64 with SP2, fully patched, that keeps eating up all my 8GB of RAM within hours of a fresh reboot.
It boots clean at 26% memory usage, which then climbs up to around 85% at which point things slow down. Any attempt to select functions from already running programs, or running new ones, causes an out of memory error after this point. If I continue, I eventually run right out of memory and have to reboot.
I have tried to identify the culprit with Task Manager (with show processes from all users checked and all the relevant memory columns displayed), but not one program/process, seems to be using more than a couple of hundred megabytes, at most.
Going through the task list and killing all the non-essential ones and/or shutting down services that are not key to being able to continue running the system has not identified the problem either. Memory usage remains in the high 90%+ range and the system does not release any significant amount of memory.
Logging out and logging back in, doesn't work either.
The system can sit at the desktop, idle, for days with memory usage at 26%, but as soon as I start using it with Internet Explorer and/or Mozilla FireFox, usage starts to climb and just keeps going up as I use he system. Within an hour, or two, I am forced to reboot.
System is clean of spyware and viruses, as far as I can tell (using AVG and Windows Defender) and I can identify all the processes that I can see running.
Pagefile is 12GB, BIOS is set to use all 8GB of RAM (remapping hardware in the 4GB 32-bit window up above the 8GB of physical) and Windows reports 8GB of RAM available.
This has been going on for quite a few weeks now. The only thing that I've installed have been Windows standard Updates, through the online updater (including MSIE8). Prior to that I could run many different things without problems and even if I loaded a few large programs and memory usage climbed to 75%, it would go right back down again after closing these down.
I had a memory leak in Vista 64 with an earlier program that I was running that was also eating all my RAM (I forget the name of it, but it wasn't anything that I felt was essential and worth pursuing a fix for). This problem program did however show up in Task Manager with several gigs worth of RAM usage; so I killed and uninstalled it and everything went back to normal for quite a long time.
The problem at the moment is that I can't see what is using all the available RAM.
Anyone experienced anything similar?
