Talldog9 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I have been searching for something like this for a while. What I want is an app that can prevent specified processes from paging out. I will settle for anything at this point. Thanks. The internet - Where men are men, women are men and children are FBI agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted June 23, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 23, 2007 By paging out do you mean connecting to the net? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldog9 Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 na, I mean an app that can prevent selected processes from writing themselves to the page file instead of staying in the RAM. There are some apps that I always have running that get written to the page file, which causes the process to have to be rewritten back to the ram when it is called again. this causes a severe slowdown since my hard disk is not very fast.

Moderators Andavari Posted June 24, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 24, 2007 There's an age old "tweak or non-tweak" and I have no idea if it works in Windows 2000/XP/Vista so make a system backup first and backup the .ini file that must be edited before mucking with it. It's called: ConservativeSwapfileUsage Note: Using ConservativeSwapfileUsage can cause programs to that never crashed to all of a sudden crash allot! It's better left alone and to use the Windows default setting! Edit: Bleh, nevermind it's an old legacy hack for Windows 9x only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your hard-drive is that slow that you notice the paging, would it not be more beneficial to buy a new HD ? I don't know your circumstances, but rather than trying to override the default behaviour of Windows apps etc. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
