I've read that also and agree. LIS, I turned PageFile back on because a
You Tube video (think runtime was about 5 minutes) stopped consistently
at a minute or so in. For the limited testing everything else ran fine.
As you said, some things might not work right. (IIRC the 'error' was
the YouTube video portion went to a light gray with a blue [?]
exclamation point inside a circle.)

I'll have to look into that one.
