Answer 1

"What the normal page file usage history should be in Windows Task Manager?"
Your computer needs memory to store data temporarily. Now, this data could be stored on the hard drive, but the hard drive is slow, so we use specialised hardware called RAM (memory). Here's the thing, the computer needs that temporary storage space. No ifs or buts. So if you run out of RAM memory, the disk needs to get used. The memory that gets used on disk is called virtual memory or the pagefile.

Remember, the pagefile is slow, because it relies on the hard disk, which is significantly slower than RAM. So you want a lower pagefile, and want it used as little as possible. In fact, if you can, avoid having a pagefile. The norm is to have about 1GB pagefile. They say the rule of thumb is 2x your RAM. Bah. That may have been true at once, for technical reasons, but now you just want pure RAM.

"What if i have more than it should be?"
If your pagefile is forced to become large (the computer complains that virtual memory is low), it's an indication that your computer needs more memory.

Typically, if you have 1GB memory, you are good to go. Maybe 2GB if you run high performance applications. Soon enough the norm will be 2GB-4GB, but for now 1GB-2GB RAM is good.

"And i also want to know about kernal memory."
The kernel is the core of the operating system. Every OS has one (Windows, Macs, Linux, Unix). Kernel memory just means how much gets used up by the kernel.

The best way is to download Ccleaner here http://bitly.com/UrALrK

Or you can go on Windows operating system locate the command prompt and go there to do the following:
Create a Recovery file of system and date it today.

Then begin by;
delete the 'Temp' folders..they have hidden subfolders so you need to set the attributes in order to bypass this. For each subfolder delete all cookies and rubbish left behnd after install-uninstalled programs. Do a 'dir' command to check your progress. Make sure the 'Temp' file is empty.

goto c:\windows\prefetch and delete everything in there..no exceptions

goto c:\windows folder and delete all the '$' files that have been installed by updates. They can all be succesfully deleted and just take up disk space.

Locate the Internet Temporary Files..Check to see how high the saving level is..some have it set at 30 days..but that stores faaaar tooo much data..though it slows down the system overal. Keep this to a minimum..suggest 2 or 5 at most.

Delete all 'cookies' all those you don't need.

Locate the windows directory and go through the folders you know and those you don't need. Check this once a week at least. Some programs will install under XP as NT and older systems where there is no check of systems weight.

Check to see that system files have not changed since last booting. Things like .ini files or .bat are important items.


Check for 'Hidden Directories' all over the disk...do this at the command prompt:

dir *.* /ah wil show these hidden directories

Check the 'dir' command for all parameters
