The system paging file can be lowered or disabled if needed in order to diagnos the problem being seen there. One thing to be aware of however is that some of the programs out for substituting the nromal system functions do see their own problems at times. They are still softwares and can have glitches. If nothing else can be found then removing it temporarily even may resolve the problem if there's a program fault being seen.

, they have different disk space sizes, however both constantly show identical free space sizes.Identical free space - just something I noticed, because I don't have the same issue on my other computer, but again the main problem is the fact that when I delete, literally gigabytes of, say, movies, the disk still shows the same amount of free space left (recycle bin emptied too of course). Also the clock has been acting weird, says its 10 19 pm right now when its 5 in the morning, yesterday it was fine.
One fast way to see just how much drive space is used or free is to right click on the drive's icon seen in either MyComputer or Windows Explorer since those pretty much tied together. This will bring a circular illustration with the blue colored area seen as the used space and red as the free drive space available.
Apparently the Rollback RX or something is causing havoc there. Try removing it or disabling it for the time being with the msconfig utility. You simply type msconfig at the Run prompt and press enter to bring up the screen with several tabs. Look in both the startup and services areas for any items. When going into the services group you will want to check off the "hide all microsoft services" box. That makes things a little easier.
