Pagefiles
« on: March 09, 2010, 10:23:36 AM »
Right!  A few months back,i swapped my pagefile (virtual memory) from the C drive to the E drive.
  Shortly after that my BS player wouldn't play 720p movies properly,it kept skipping.
  Anyway to free up space on my E drive and because i had 4GB free on C i swapped back.
  Funnily enough my BS Player now plays 720p video like it used to.
The only thing i've done different,is swap the pagefile from E to C.
  I'd like other peoples opinions on this please?

BS Player might have it hard coded in their code to use the swap file on the C: drive (since most people don't modify it's location/size).  If that's the case, that could be causing the skipping.

How much space was available on your E drive?  If you needed to free up space on it was it already running low before you switched the page filing to it?

Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

 There was plenty left on E not much on C.
It's opposite now.
