The page file is sort of like a safety valve, more-or-less catching the overflow of any data that can't fit into available memory -- you always want some memory free & available for the next app you're going to start & run. Data that's stored in memory is stored in memory because you'll access it more often -- data stored in the page file is accessed more than data spread across you hard drive(s). 3 problems with the swap or page file are 1) reading from a hard drive is slower than reading from RAM, 2) it can take up a lot of space, & 3) since it's by default saved from one Windows' session to the next, it's a potential security weakness, e.g. it can contain data like passwords. Note that the part about being slower varies with how fast [or slow] your system reads/writes the page file on the hard drive, & some hardware reads/writes to/from RAM faster than others, so the difference in speed may be less. Mileage varies.

Like lots of folks I can boot into 32 bit XP Pro & 64 bit win7 -- win7 64 lets me use all my RAM, while XP Pro limits it to almost 4 GB, so you might expect the same app to be faster running in win7 than in XP Pro -- 99% of the time, no. If more/less RAM has no effect, I'd think the page file would be irrelevant. Where it would likely come into play is if I had enough apps running that they used all of that almost 4 GB in XP. It may be interesting to see how win8 handles the page file with RT [ARM] &/or x86 tablets.

Having the swap file on a SSD with fast reads/writes helps if the stuff you do on your system regularly uses it, helps enough that hybrid drives work kinda the same way -- data that's accessed more often is copied to the much smaller SSD part. Some Intel motherboards let you add a small SSD that works the same way, storing copies of files & data that you access most. How much any of that helps, including going to the heart of the matter & having more RAM, depends on how you use your system. Video editing for example benefits from more RAM, *may* benefit from a hybrid drive, encoding video not so much [though reading/writing the video to/from SSDs helps]. Always playing the same game or running the same app means always accessing some of the same data, so storing that data on the SSD part of a hybrid drive helps -- if you run something different each time you start Windows, the files/data that hybrid drive last stored on its SSD are useless.

HTG Explains: What is the Windows Page File and Should You Disable It?

http://www.howtogeek.com/95915/heres-why-disabling-the-windows-pagefile-is-pointless/

For years, Windows tweaking people have tried to convince everybody that if you disable the pagefile, you’ll get a big performance boost. One of our readers did a ton of testing to prove that this is not true.

http://www.tweakhound.com/2011/10/10/the-windows-7-pagefile-and-running-without-one/

What can happen if I screw it up? or What can happen during testing?
Low memory errors resulting in a pop-up screen (if you’re lucky), Program / event log errors, blue screens, disk corruption. Possible data loss as a result.
- Bluescreens (possibly resulting in data loss / corruption) Windows usually isn’t the culprit here. Most of the time it is a driver or program leaking memory (*cough* firefox *cough*). In the past I’ve seen some Windows gadgets leak memory.
- I have read of people complaining of problems coming out of Sleep mode without a page file. I’ve been unable to reproduce this issue.

Hello to everybody!

Please pay attention to the latest GOTD Blog entry, that is covering a major merge of our Facebook accounts.

In a few words, we have launched a new page for Giveaway of the Day project, that is going to be only one true. This page is also linked to our application (which is now works without a hitch).

Have a nice day!

A new rogue has started making its appearance from compromised websites: Rogue:MSIL/Zeven. We received a sample (70be8ca73142922fd78acf2aafa9f141a977f15a) and a URL and began our investigation.

Let us say from the beginning that the guys behind this rogue like to copy big-time. They start by auto-detecting what browser the user is currently using, and then faking the malware warning page if the browser is Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox. This is meant to be a social engineering scheme in order to trick the user into downloading and installing the rogue, relying on the user’s trust of his day-to-day browser.

UNLOCK-IE.zip

Many spyware programs and "home page hijackers" alter the default home page and other key user settings in Internet Explorer. These malicious programs often set certain Registry keys/values in order to lock users out from those Internet Explorer settings, preventing them from reclaiming control of their browsers.

Also, some users of SpyBot Search & Destroy have checked the following boxes on the "Immunize" page within SpyBot Search & Destroy, not realizing that they are effectively locking themselves out of those Internet Explorer:

* "Lock IE start page setting against user changes (current user)"
* "Lock IE control panel against opening from within IE (current user)"

Hello,

I find this very weird.

Using Opera I can't open the GAOTD home page, I get a WordPress Error. I did a nslookup on the http://www.giveawayoftheday.com and got an IP address which, when used in Opera, opens the GAOTD home page just fine.

I have no problems opening any other pages using Opera. In fact http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/cse-html-validator/#more-1646 opens the page fine, so it is not a DNS problem.

All the other browsers I have opens GAOTD home page. I have deleted all cookies on Opera and I am out of ideas. Can anybody guess what the problem could be?

Thanks,

-Mario

Edit
For some reason, after 2 hours Opera decided to cooperate, so scratch this, problem is solved

NVU is actually a pretty good one

Trawl through here you might find freeware apps you need.

Sounds like you need photoshop to do a photochop.

pl tell me

oh no i m not able to download it

If you missed the Fusion 9 coverCDs, I'd suggest http://freeserifsoftware.com/software/WebPlus/default.asp

There is a line that runs all the way from hand coding HTML in notepad, through hrml tag editors (with preview if you're lucky), through tag/wysiwyg editors that let you work on the code pr lay things out visually (NVU is a prime example - http://www.nvu.com/index.php ), up to those that bury the code completely and work on layout alone, often with preset layouts - typically working in their own file format and then publishing to html when you want to deliver any changes.
