My computer has been running amazingly slow for the past few months and before giving up on it I wanted to try to fix it. My page file usage is running at @584 MB I think in the past it ran at @248-295MB. Are there any fixes for this???

Hi dwohlever and welcome. Sadly, you told us absolutely nothing of your computer, how it is set up, what you are running, what OS, or anything. sad.gif Not even your page file settings.

I would not worry about the page file - that is not an indication of poor performance.

Have you scanned for malware?
