is there a way to force Windows 7 to unload/close/kill (last resort) applications from the virtual memory even if the gui & any icon disappeared from the desk-task bar, when i closed them ?

I remote into my desktop at home from work sometimes and depending on applications, when I go for a reboot or shut the PC down, it hangs and I can't remote back in. A few days ago I waited 5 hours and had to go home to click "Force shutdown" on the prompt that Windows 7 had waiting for me.

e.g. "warning unresponsive script. a script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. you can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete."
From looking at others' questions, this seems to be a recurring problem under Windows for a long time. My version: running Windows 7, 64-bit, with Spyware Doctor. Several applications fail to close on exit, and I have to manually close them in Task Manager before they will work again. Always happens with Outlook 2007, Google Chrome, sometimes happens with Firefox and Acrobat Reader. Outlook also hangs on the last message in a "send and receive" operation.

I am trying to access an application that I am told can only be accessed using the virtual XP. I created new credentials and launched XP Virtual PC. However, I have no application access under my credentials. The previous user had access to these applications under their credentials. Is there anyway I can transfer or import the applications from the older user to mine?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to Windows 7 and I have a question that I need an answer to if at all possible.I was told there is a way to force a program to use all of my processors and Ram memory. I need to figure out if this possible and what I have to do to accomplish this.I am wanting to force a video game to use all four processors and all/ more Ram memory than the game was designed to use. According the Game manufacturs/ producer I was informed to use Msconfig to set up this procedure and for it to work properly. Is this correct or is there a different way I can force this game to work better?

I have 2*1GB DDR2 667MHz of RAM, and was wondering what should be the PF for me? Reading TweakGuides' Vista guide it says if you have 2 GB of RAM you should use Custom Size of 1024-1024 (min-max) MB.
Windows 7 should basically use the same architecture (kernel model) than Vista, so it should'nt be that different?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using Windows 7 now since 6th of May, and love it! I haven't had any troubles except 2, but this topic is meant for only one.
I remembered an application called Everest, it lists all of your hardware and information about it, OS and stuff, really nice. It also has tab for sensors, where you can monitor temperature.
When i was looking around in Everest, I found out somehow 7gigs. of virtual memory is available, and most of the time somewhere around 2gig. is being used. That was kind of weird, because I have 4 gigs of RAM, and most of the time only 25% is used of it. So, why would Windows prefer use of the virtual memory over the use of physical memory? I found out virtual memory could be managed in "advanced system settings". because 2.5 gigs of virtual memory was used most of the time, I thought: why not just completely disable paging file.
So it's: computer --> right click properties --> advanced system settings --> advanced tab --> performance --> settings --> virtual memory --> change.
So finally comes the problem, I have successfully disabled the paging file, and it says "total paging size for all drives: 0 mb". But when I go to Everest, it still says I have 7 gigs of Virtual Memory available, and it uses 2 gigs. I want to make full use of my physical memory!
FYI: whenever I download games, applications and multimedia, I store it or install it in D: leaving C: with enough space as much as possible thinking that it's good if C: is not loaded with programs and files since OS is stored there.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhat is the difference between virtual memory vs installed Ram? I have win7 pro , Gateway 5800 @ 3.20 GHZ , dual-core x64 system with GB ram installed. My sys specs says that I have 9GB of virtual memory available.My system seemed slow , so I checked the Memory alloted for my paging file and it said 512k! It recommended MB? So I set the Minimum at MB and the max at MB. It did not seem to make a major difference though. Should I reset it to below the 6GB total Ram or is that a separate issue? I use the computer mostly for video & web commenting but will be doing more offline gaming soon.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to upgrade my son's laptop from Vista to Windows 7. My son's computer is a Toshiba Qosmio and I ran the Toshiba Upgrade Tool with no problems. The problem I have now is that the virtual memory service is not starting so when I start the install of windows 7, I get the error "windows could not retrieve information about disks on this computer". I tried to manually start the service and get the error "service failed to start".
If I put it on automatic, it just stays on "starting". Obviously, this is not allowing windows 7 to see my disks. Disk management does not show my disks due to virtual memory service not being able to start. The computer is ready for the upgrade, just can't get passed this problem. I don't want to use the recovery disks if I can help it.
As you can see the drives list is blank, and I cannot change the location and size of pagefile!
Does anyone have the same problem or have some tips to solve this?
i am getting error not enough memory when i launch excel in my virtual machine
