Title: Pagefiles
Post by: Geemonster 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?

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