It is only superficial. It shouldn't affect your computer at all.
Do a Find in this NG for resources and you will find some good solutions.
Also do a virus scan and adware scan.
To see aproximately how much you have running, do a ctrl-alt-del and the End
Task Box will display most running programs.

It is purely a cosmetic issue, but follow the instructions in the article
if you must. It will be a zero charge thing as long as you do
not discuss any other problems.

No way. Resources are resources not paging file related.



another thing is why do we all have to pay 35$ for a
microsoft screw up to begin with You don't have to

if you do qas they say.
