What exactly is a Page Fault?
Wednesday, August 20, 2003 by Koasati | Discussion: Stardock Software
I did a little reading on the subject, and came away no more the wiser (I don't speak geekaneze) ......... would someone please explain in simple terms, what a page fault is, and why every app has so many, when viewing Task Manager? I have one program that has racked up over 32 million page faults, and is growing by 300 or so, per second. And another that has over 15 million, growing at 200 or so per second. 
Enlighten me, please. 
Enlighten me, please.

No problem Randy
Styl - this is for you.....Program = ram/virtual ram/hard disk......if it doesn't find it in any of those three places, your computer will ask you to empty your pockets. Clear enough?
