Yuh got that right...I'd be makin' some noise too just not that high-pitched girlie squeel...my voice just can't do that...
Me? I'm more in the "twisted" "psycotic" and "pathetic" venue...hey, somebodies gotta do it... and I'm good at it...
There ya go Rosie! TNR, don’t act like a troll, or we will distract you with our endless babble until the morning sun turns you to stone!
Awww....he probably says that to all the Dailies. Maybe I should put him on my ElfBash list.
There's nothing wrong with the size of my ...oh wait a minute...never mind...
que es "swap file" and how do I "fix" it...
No thanks...I just bashed...
There ya go Rosie! TNR, don’t act like a troll, or we will distract you with our endless babble until the morning sun turns you to stone! Forgot to ping him to the other post!
Oh so that's what it was. I thought I was having deja vu all over again.
Hoo boy... unfortunately I'm not a Windows expert. Uhm, the swap file is also know as "virtual memory"... it's a big file on your hard disk, used by the system to temporarily store things from RAM when your RAM gets too full. I think if you go to the Control Panel -> System -> Performance, you'll see a button or tab for "virtual memory". I can't say how much you should have, how to change it, or if changing it will improve things on your system, though, sorry! Maybe there are some folks more experienced with Windows 98 here who can help?
Oooooh! So maybe I can get rid of that Iplayer invalid page fault message I sometimes get while playing DVD's on the PC.
Neither am I, but I do play one at work.
We don't have any Windows 98 machines here (well, one, but I rarely mess with it), but Bear is on the right track for getting you to your virtual memory settings, so far as I can remember. You can also get there by right clicking on My Computer and going to Properties, I think.
Whether you actually need to mess with those settings may be another matter. Are you getting a "low on virtual memory" error? I missed the beginning of this...I have a tendency to (intentionally) ignore technical questions here...
64MB of RAM is fairly low for today's systems, so it's POSSIBLE increasing virtual memory would help some applications that need a lot of memory...
That is a cute story Rosie, I think we should ping TN and tell him about it!
Oh yeah - I was working! Very busy here!
a slow PC for a slow mind...
Are you getting a "low on virtual memory" error?
No...I'm having trouble with the new Danish TTT trailer that Hair posted from Divx...I downloaded Divx, but it just won't pay right...video is choppy, audio doesn't sync with video...one thing I noticed, I've got Norton System Works, and after I tried playing the trailer, it said my C drive was full...my operating system is on my C drive (2 gig) but my media player, divx and the trailer are on my D drive (2 gig)...too much for my simple dwarvish mind to figure out...I oughtta go back to the mines...
Neither am I, but I do play one at work.
Rosie, did I ever tell you that yer one funny lady?...
It's also possible that Divx is just a high demand program that needs lots o' memory and doesn't like your system. I'm not sure.
Have you defragmented your hard drives lately? That might give you a little more speed...every little bit helps!
Rosie, did I ever tell you that yer one funny lady?...
Thanks!
