I'm gettingthe same "out of memory" error message on Outlook 2007 running under Windows 7 (64 bit). Reading this thread, I checked my RAM and Page File Size and they are both ~6G... Should I REALLY increase my Page file size to 12G?

just built a new i7-930 and installed Windows 7 Professional. With older versions of Windows I was told to put the swap file on another drive and to have the begining and ending sizes the same. Does this theory still hold true for W7? Looking for advice, I have 6GB of Ram on an Asus Rampage II Extreme MB.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had completed a beautiful 82-slide PowerPoint presentation, but the wav file I embedded was HUGE (about 200 MB) and not to my choosing. I just had to have the music a certain length to span across 82 slides. Is there ANY WAY to reduce the size of this music wav file (so that it conforms to the 50 MB max file size for PowerPoint). I would rather embed this music file than to have a link.

View 1 Replies View RelatedKnow I have done a good amount of research and heard all different angles. I am going to test some of these things myself and time it real time with a stop watch! This tweak is mostly aimed at system performance for gaming but would like to hear the pro's and cons.Win 7 64x I have a Core i5 750 overclocked to 4Ghz and I have 8GB DDR3 1600, GTX 570 and a Velociraptor 300GB 10k RPM drive. So my system moves fast as it is.I was wondering if someone from Toms Hardware could do a definitve test showing the performance ganes and ideal setups.System ram (hardware) is much faster then a pagefile on any hard drive. Some programs want to have a pagefile but most seem to be like Adobe Photoshop.I have seen people say over 4GB disable page file.Set page file to 512MB with over 4GB of RAM.Setup pagefile on 2nd hard drive.Leave it to system managed on Win 7 because it handles it differently then WinXP used to and any tweaks make no difference.So again I can do my own personal testing but I think it would be great to have a full review to answer all these questions and put it to bed so to speak. I honestly think it would be very benificial to do an article then have information just posted in the forums.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on a SSD (120 GB Intel X-25M), and now I'm juggling with the dilemma of what to do with the page file. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on this issue from my internet research.Here's the situation as it stands: I have 8GB of RAM, and windows has created a 8GB page file.
1) Keep everything as is
2) Move the page file to another hdd (a WD caviar black)
3) Keep the page file on the SSD, but shrink it to 1 or 2GB
(Some people simply disabled their page file. I've ruled out this option as overkill)
a. Page file will will shorten SSD life span
b. counter-argument: maybe, but that is an over-blown concern for modern SSDs
c. If you have enough RAM (8 gigs is certainly that), the page file is useless
Most of my research was from 2009 threads and discussions though. Have things changed? Is there a better understanding of this topic now to render a verdict? I'm leaning towards shrinking my page file to 2GB (and leave it on the SSD) as a compromise between every concern.
Is it a good idea to create a 10GB partition and use it solely to place page file?And then disable pagefile and use Eraser to securely free wipe the partition? Would this get rid of the contents inside pagefile for good? And does the speed and performance be affected if pagefile is in another partition?

View 11 Replies View RelatedAs im having a clearout and tidying up storage folders prior to new back ups - is there a way in Win Explorer or a third party utility to see total size of a folder so when i look at a list of HDD contents i can see which is using up most disk space? each folder may have sub folders as well as files, but apart from right click to Properties i would like a quick quick way of viewing folder size. or even sorting by size rather than folder name. The Size column after Date Modified and then Type isnt wont show a total size. Surely theres a way of Windows or a utility that can show the total size of a folder??I can then quickly go to a folder which has a large content and see if i can delete some of its contents. Folders like "Photos" is obviously going to be large, but others arent!Also as i still get confused about the way WIN Backup works im seriously considering Acronis so as to have incremental backups.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt appears windows does not cnform to the standard method of calculating file sizee.g. the standard value of 1GB is 1000MB, however windows uses 1024MB. As such it is not in fact a "Gigabyte" But a "Gibibyte". This is extremley annoying, as for egxample, I have a 2TB hard Drive, which in the settings tells me is:2,000,263,573,504 bytes, this is correct, however it also tells me that the hard drive is 1.81TB when it should say 2TB. Is there any way I can change windows's calculation method for file sizes? So that 1TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytesinstead of 1,099,511,627,776 byte which is a TiB (or tebibyte) This is probably a very stupid question and pointless
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a Dell PC with free Windows 7 upgrade. I only installed Mozilla Firefox and Norton Internet 2009 on the PC before I upgraded to Windows 7. I decided to do a custom install from the upgrade DVD so that I could change the partitioning following an article in the November issue of Australin Personal Computer Magazine.
The article said "Windows 7 requires around 10GB of hard drive space. We're planning to keep applications on the same partition as well, so we'll generously add another 20GB, making a 30GB partiition". So during the install process I deleted all the existing partitions, created my partitions with 30GB for the OS. The install process created the system section and everything worked as expected. To my surprise once the install had finished there was 27GB in the C:drive. I assumed it was keeping the old Vista somewhere.
I couldn't find a windows.old folder and in Disk Clean up the button 'Clean up System Files' didnt show for me - there is only one User account and I am the administrator so I didn't know what was causing that problem. So I decided to re-install Windows and increase the OS partition to 40GB - which I did. Only to find that this partitiion is now 35GB full. Again, no windows.old file can be found but the 'Clean up System Files' button appears - but there are no 'Previous Windows Installations' to delete. I decided to bear with it, but already I have a red warning light that the C: drive is nearing capacity.
So I decided to try a third install of Windows 7 and forget the idea of partitioning all together. But now I can only format the OS partition and can not format or delete any other partitions during the custom install process and all my old files were still there after the install. I have formatted the other partitions (i.e. not C now but still they can not be formatted or deleted in anyway through the install process. Windows 7 will not install on any partition other than C:. So it seems this 40GB is all I have for the OS, but it is now full.
Anyone have any ideas what I should do next. I have read everything I can on this site, but the solution seems to be always to delete partitions, which I am unable to do, and format partitions, which I have done (where possible).
If I could solve the problem as to why Windows is now 37GB would resolve my issue, but it is concerning that I can't change the partitioning also.
I recorded a 2 hr 1970's movie off the air and the file size was 2.65Gb. I recorded a 3 hr modern movie off the air, and the file size was 28+Gb. I assume that the file size is because one was HD and the other wasn't, but is there a way to compress the HD file or a way in set-up to reduce the recording quality?The WinTV program that comes with my Haupauge tuner has such an option, but the setting doesn't seem to carry over to Media Center.Related to this, when I try to copy a recorded TV file to a thumg drive, it tells me that any file over arounbd 4Gb is too large, even though I am using a 16Gb thunb crive.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running Windows 7 64-bit on a custom PC with Pentium Dual-Core 2.50GHz and 4GB RAM and have been having some "low memory" issues occasionally, seemingly due to Firefox hogging up memory.
So I looked at what my paging file settings were. They're currently set as "system managed": minimum 16MB, recommended 6141MB, and currently allocated 516MB. It says in Windows Help that it automatically sets the initial paging file as minimum four times the RAM plus 300MB, and the maximum as three times the amount of RAM. Obviously it hasn't set these parameters. My question is: should I change the settings manually to reflect these recommendations?
BTW: I have less than 1GB on the drive, so would Windows change the settings to reflect this, or does it allocate it separately?
