He's probably running a Symantec or McAfee product...either of those 2 hog programs could account for 28 processes and 460 meg paging file.

Last time I saw a Windows XP paging file under 200 was on a fresh of Windows XP SP2...that was in March when I built the system I'm using now...load up the SATA, chipset, audio and video drivers and it went over 300.

Something huge is running if it takes that much page file space.  My computer is going on a year old and I just checked, it is still under 120MB.  Time has little to do with how much is being swapped to the page file.

I could see Norton or McAfree using up a lot of page file space though.  Horrible programs.

get a copy of FSAutostart or Alacrity to kill everything you dont need before firing up AH.

on my XP system Task Manager shows 20 processes (including itself) and ~140MB page file.

Are you running Limewire while trying to play the game?  All bets are off, if that is the case.

You think?  It can cause lag for days after it is shutdown.

Good Luck trying to remove LimeWire from your HD......if you decide to do that......( my personal opinion you should get rid of it )....

3 previous times , my 2 daughters installed it on their own PC's...had to reformat to get it completely off on oldest daughter's PC once...then 2 more times reformated youngest Daughters pc.....they no longer have a desire to use Limewire  :D

Haven't you gotten the word yet?  :huh Limewire = 2nd largest source of virus infections (primarily trojans) and spyware on the net...right behind Bearshare. You should not be running any P2P programs especially on your gaming system if you expect to keep it as a gaming system...considering the fact that you're also running Norton, I'm willing to bet you a months subscription to AH that your system is infected.

I'm guessing you don't realize how the P2P's work otherwise you would be using encrypted torrent downloads...event then you should never do it on your gaming system.
