Oct 27, 2009Are you guys having the same problem? Using IE7, when viewing a thread, if I hit the back arrow to go back to the page I was previously viewing, it doesn't move at all. It started acting weird a couple of days ago when it took sometimes two hits on the back arrow to go back. Now it doesn't go back to the previous page at all.

Dec 2, 2006I am running WINXP Pro after having to do a clean install (Network card failed and corrupted something?) I have a bunch of files that I could not access, figured out I had to take permission of them as individual files (I could see in the folders, just not the open the files) I've had to keep doing this every time I move a hard drive to another PC. My question is how do I reset all the file sharing permissions so that anybody on any network/pc can access the files?

View 7 Replies View RelatedReset Explorer File Folder To Default
Mar 7, 2008First things first: WinXP Pro, SP2 fully up to date but system restore is turned off.Trying to get Windows Explorer to export a directory tree to a text file the other day instead of doing it via command line, I messed something up and can't get it back. In Explorer, this is where I was: Tools >> Folder Options >> File Types >> File Folder >>I managed to insert the script that I wanted, but somewhere along the way I made a mistake and set it to Default. Now, whenever I click on an folder in Explorer it runs whatever is set as default. I can "Default" a lot of things (enqueue in Winamp, play in VLC Media Player, Find, etc) but none of them is the simple "Open" command. I looked around at a couple other things (namely "Folder" and Firefox) in the File Types box, and while they both have Open commands included, I can't "Edit" them to see what kind of command they are running.

Jul 18, 2009In one of my technical college class books, MCSE Guide to Microsoft Windows XP Professional Second Edition, Enhanced, on page 492, Chapter 10, it talks about performance tweaking. It talks about the page file, which I know uses free space on the hard drive to act as RAM, and says that to choose the third option of no page filing, you must have have at least one gig of RAM or greater. I have 1.24 Gigs of RAM on my computer and I used to assign 1-2 gigs of hard drive space as Virtual memory(I no longer do that) and now I let Windows choose for me. This chapter also discussed about how using the page is stored on the boot partition by default by Windows and can slightly slow down the computer. My question is, will turning off page filing help or hurt my computer? Should I keep the "system managed" or is it safe for me to turn it off?

Jun 10, 2007I am in the process of editing a 30 min movie and am having severe slow-down problems-the same type I had on my old comp with only 1 GB of RAM. I checked the performance tab and only 900 MB of my 2 gig of RAM were being used, with 1.1 GB of PF used. Is it just me, or is this extremely poor resource management? Is there a setting in XP that lets me manage the average RAM and PF usage myself? Edit: If this problem can't be fixed without more RAM, I was thinking about and have the funds to buy another 1 GB of the same RAM to speed it up.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter Adding RAM Adjust Page File?
Nov 23, 2008I read somewhere that after adding RAM you also need to adjust the Paging File. I just found an informative article on this. I checked my Page File properties and it reads: C Drive (that's the only drive, no partition)
Custom Size:
Initial: 336 MB
Maximum: 672 MB
I have 990 MB RAM, hence the recommended 1485 MB (1.5 times)Should I increase the Page File size? I don't have a problem with performance, but I also haven't used any memory intensive programs. Also, is there a risk in allowing the system to set Page File? "System managed size"?And why some people recommend the same size for minimum and maximum?
Page File Impossible To Alter
Jan 11, 2005I have 256 MB stick of ram in this system. when i attempt to set my pagefile to static custom size of 800 initial 800 maximum, even in registry, i click set, and reboot the computer. when it restarts its back at the system managed size of 383. if i change to safe mode, i can set it jsut fine and it saets and stays at 800. however when i reboot after setting it into the safemode, ITS BACK AT 383! EVEN THOUGH THE CUSTOM SETTINGS ARE STILL SET, IT nags AT ME ABOUT VIRTUAL MEMORY BEING TO LOW!@!
This is really offensive to me because i can handle almsot any xp problem and this keeps bugging the crap out of me. i cant run with this crappy of a system without that pagefile being set right and i need this solution ASAP >.<

Jul 20, 2010I'm running XP Home on an E6750 system with 2 GB (1x1 GB) DDR2 800 Crucial Ballistix. I'm a big multitasker with nine windows from FireFox usually open with about fiver or more Tabs open with in them and sometime have two or more BT open. My memory jump up 1+ GB and my system starts to slow down in responding with changing windows and task.
I set up my Page File with 33 MB on my C: drive for Dump File and 3072 MB on my E:drive for my main Page File. When I looked at my % Usage in the Performance console in Administrative Tools, the C: drive's Page File are the only one being use just under 100% and the E: drive is barely reaching 3% usage... I think that not allocating my second drive's Page File is what's causing the slow down. Does anyone know what's happening with the Page File on my second drive?
Page File Size For On 2nd Hard Drive
Jul 17, 2009I will be creating a partition on the second Hdd for the pagefile.I have 2 Gig of Ram installed.My question is what size should the partition be? Less than than 8 Gigs I am aware of.But more importantly, what Min and Max should the settings be for the PagFile. Perhaps let the system decide?If I do set a PagFile on the OS partition I am considering 2MB - 200Mb to generate a kernel dump report. Note: Although I will have an Image of OS If the issue at hand is small enough I amy gain some experience in trying to fix it using the reports.
