How To Fix This ErrorWe Invite You To Browse SmartComputing.com!

 

Error Message:
(0Bh): Not Present Fault.
Translation:
Windows uses something known as virtual memory to process data faster and more efficiently. Virtual memory is space on the hard drive that Windows reserves for extra memory. As your software performs various tasks, Windows swaps data between physical memory (RAM) and virtual memory on the hard drive. The error above can occur when a program tries to access data in a block of virtual memory but can’t find it in the location it’s supposed to be in. The problem can result if a swap file is too small or is corrupt. It can also occur if there is a bad sector on the hard drive.
Solution:
Try increasing the size of the swap file. For Win2000, click the Start button, Settings, Control Panel, and double-click System. On the System Properties dialog, click the Advanced Tab and then click Performance Options, and then click Virtual Memory. Click Let Me Specify My Own Virtual Memory Settings, and then set it to the maximum. For WinNT, click the Start button, Settings, Control Panel, System, and on the Performance tab click the Change button. Alter the memory to the maximum allowable, but make sure it is less than the size of your hard drive, which is listed in the Hard Disk list on the dialog.

If the swap file is corrupt, reboot your computer. This usually rectifies the problem. If the problem persists, the hard drive might have a bad sector. Run ScanDisk and enable the Thorough and Fix Any Errors options. If ScanDisk detects a problem and can’t fix it, you may have to replace your hard drive.
