I have a lot of activity of page file and page faults with 2.5 GB of RAM memory
Hello
I tried to find the reason for the slow performance on my pc and the limiting factor seems to be the activity of page file and errors of memory page. It is Win XP sp 3 with 2.5 GB of RAM and a processor 2.8 GHz (core). The task manager has never really shown a problem, memory use was rarely higher than 30%, around 10% page file use (I have the initial value, 3.5 GB 4 GB max) and CPU rarely hits 100%, but even when the task manager has revealed no particular problem the system shuts down sometimes for several seconds on starting the program or file to open. To follow the reason down I have installed a more detailed tracking software, which shows up to 1200 files page per second being transferred to or from the virtual memory and up to 8000 page errors per second during these breaks. This could be the cause, and if I can change all the settings to make more efficient memory management?
Thank you
My copy/paste standard when someone thinks PFs is / are part of their performance problem (but it's probably not...):
I'm guessing that you see in the Task Manager and you have chosen to display the column of Page faults?
If this is the case, given that the column of Page faults is not normally displayed if you activated, perhaps you are looking for some performance issue.
A Page fault does not mean that there is a problem.
A Page fault means generally that the application needs some data that are not in physical memory (RAM) at the time. When the application needs some data that is not in the local memory and must recover from the paging file on the hard drive which is a way, you will see an error Page generated.
Sounds kind of bad because it has the word 'Fault' in there, but it is really normal. If you call your task manager after a reboot (do not use any browser), all applications are likely to have at least some page faults, even if you just restarted and "did not" do anything yet.
Some applications may generate a few hundred or a few thousand Page Faults on a restart and then does not change. The only thing in the task manager that will have zero Page faults is the system idle process, but this is a special case.
Knowing what is a Page fault, you can understand that if your system does not have enough RAM for your operations, XP will need to move out to the pagefile often to get things he needs things there can be not in RAM when he needs. Whenever she does this, you will have a Page fault. The less RAM you have, more your applications will have hit the swap file to get their data, but you should be able to control some of this and you may even not notice "" the faults of Page at all--they happen all the time.
So, one might think that if you turned off your pagefile and ran without a paging file, you would see zero Page faults in the Task Manager. That sounds good, but this isn't the way things work. XP works best when you have a system managed pagefile size (generally) the value if you probably won't work without a pagefile.
You would always see Page errors in the Task Manager is because there are hard and soft Page faults Page faults, and you would see soft Page faults.
A hard Page fault would be access to the disk paging file. A soft Page fault would be just a shuffle or the reorganization of the things that are already in memory. The Task Manager just them put everything in the column Page Fault and you can't make a difference.
Given that the Task Manager offers two types of page faults in a single column you will need else with more granularity (such as performance monitor), tools that allow to separate Page faults in soft Page faults and performance monitoring of hard Page faults. If you turn off your paging file and use Perfmon to split the Page faults on different types and follow them separately and have no pagefile, you see zero hard Page faults, but still see soft Page faults as a separate counter.
I ran XP for a l-o-n-g time with only 256 MB of RAM and was quite satisfied with her for several years once I dialed things.
Most your system and applications run, Page faults accumulate so that application until the application ends and restarted, then the Page counters error starts to the new and will keep goes upward, upward, toward the top and up - it does not mean necessarily you have a problem and PFs are not likely to be the cause of your performance problems.
I do not think that you will see top-down but you can start them by restarting the application.

I have a lot of old e-mail files I try to delete, but they remain in the file from the Recycle Bin of 2009. How can I get rid of them?
If you have an IMAP account, go to Mail/preferences/accounts/box mailbox behaviors and make sure that the store deleted messages on the server is not checked. If this is the case, uncheck the box and see if you can remove the trash.
If that is not working, go to Mail/trash, select an e-mail message and then control - click/Delete. Does it work?

Good reading this guide - http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-copy-photos-to-a-cd-or-dvd-using-windows-7s.html which gives the basic idea.
If you want to burn the permanent backup disks get cheaper discs of 'R '. If you want to reuse the disks later get the disks 'RW '.
It will be useful.
PS - Its value in two copies as a double backup and store them in other places - just in case. Especially since the discs is not expensive.

I have a Nikon D 810 camera and Photoshop CS5. I downloaded camera 8.8 Raw and DNG converter. I can't open the raw (.nef) files, and treat them with the DNG Converter. What's not? Thank you!
As I said earlier, the DNG Converter works ONLY on files, not on files.
Do not target the individual files. Target Of THE FOLDER that contains them.
Make sure that said FILE DO NOT contain any other files , you have already settled before, or your settings will be eliminated when re-converted to DNG.
No need to write long explanations. More messages are, the more chances you have of receiving relevant responses.

I don't know what I did wrong. I have loaded a bunch of photos on my hard drive from an SD card. I've renamed bridge of lot. Somehow all the images files ARW turned the XMP files and I do not see any of the images. I tried to delete the folder on my hard drive, then reloaded my SD card. Half of the photos are back, but half of them are still just the xmp. And some have simply gone all together. I checked the trash. Isn't there. What can I do? Now, my card is too empty.
Post a screenshot of footage as xmp
Check what size these xmp files are.
Bridge cannot delete files in all, but if the files are name and file extension changed, the files will not be recognized in any application
Solution is to add the same file name extension

I usually have my updates installed automatically, but this time he asked me, I told it to install, and it took hours and never finished to download. I have reset FF according to your help article and I now get the "the opereation could not be completed because the item Firefox.app is I use. When I close FF and try to install the update is says that I do not have authorization to ensure that the lock is open and file sharing is on. It still does not work. I need help. I don't know what to do. It never happened all these years to have. I'm on Intel iMac and use Lion 10.7.5.
If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)

I want to upgrade my RAM 16 GB (2x8GB) and also to change the hard drive (750 GB) to a 250 GB SSD. I was going through the forum and people have posted that they have improved their RAM with no problems. I visited the local electronics market and is the knowledge that they have a Kingston 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM. I just want to know if it is safe to add that RAM for my MBP or not? One of my friends told me that the MBP requires a different sort of RAM so I am confused. In addition, I was intending to buy a single 8 GB and set up my MBP with 12 GB (8 + 4) RAM and then replace the other 4 GB with an 8 GB to make eventually 16GB. Will there be a problem with this approach? Also can I add any SSD fits laptops from my system? I found an SSD 240 GB (uv300) Kingston. Please suggest if I can add that.
You can fit a maximum of 16 GB, if you choose compatible Ram.

Crash blue screen by Page fault with ntoskrnl.exe
My laptop has been crashing every time than in quite awhile for these last months. It shows the blue screen "physical basis '' dumping and then crashes to black. Subsequently, the computer restarts and just told me that an error has occurred that crashed it.
I downloaded BlueScreenView to check what was causing the error and found that the pilot "ntoskrnl.exe" broke due to "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA"
I tried to look for possible solutions, such as windows update and my computer of compensation so the hard drive wasn't full. None of these worked; I have had no updates available and 120 GB of free HDD GB 970.

These are stripes of danger, meaning that there is no media for the portion of the clip. The most common reason for this is that if you linked to the bad press for this clip which is be shorter than the source it should point to. To repair, make the source for this clip mode off connection, then manually navigate to the media appropriate for it on the drives file and strips of danger should disappear.

Moving elements of an active document template file
Hi all
What I am trying to do is let open a template file and I'll have to go to this really quick file and copy what I have selected in this file, go back in the file, I am currently working, so I'll use an action that will stick in the right place. I was wondering if a script could copy what I chose in my template file and paste it into my file active, so I won't even leave my active folder. Here's what I have so far.
model var = app.documents.getByName ("sig.ai");
var tempSelected = template.selection;
var app.activeDocument = docRef;
If (tempSelected.length > 0) {}
for (i = 0; i < tempSelected.length; i ++) {}
newItem = tempSelected [i] .duplicate (docRef,
ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
}
}
else {}
Alert ("Please select one or more objects of art in your temp file");
}
It does not work, I just get the alert message, unless my model is my file active, which is not good. Don't know if it's possible to do I struggle to find scripts that involve files other than the active file so I'm not sure that anything is capable. Thank you for taking the time to look at this for me I really appreciate it. I tried messing around with insertion of files, but it isn't changed enough for me to use.
the name of all of your items in the model, then you can get a reference to them in your active document without having to select
var thisDoc = app.activeDocument; var template = app.documents[1]; var itemToDuplicate = template.pageItems['namedItem']; itemToDuplicate.duplicate( thisDoc, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING );
