In computing, a page fault is an exception that the memory management unit (MMU) raises when a process accesses a memory page without proper preparations. Accessing the page requires a mapping to be added to the process's virtual address space. Furthermore, the actual page contents may need to be loaded from a back-up, e.g. a disk.
Windows Media Player 7.0 and its successors also came with an wmplayer.exe stub, replacing each other but leaving Media Player and Windows Media Player 6.4 intact. Windows Me and Windows XP is the operating systems to have three different versions of Windows Media Player side by side.
Similar displays in the Task Manager of Windows Vista and later have been changed to reflect usage of physical memory. In Task Manager's "Processes" display, each process's contribution to the "total commit charge" is shown in the "VM size" column in Windows XP and Server 2003. The same value is labeled "Commit size" in Windows Vista and later ...
Paging has been a feature of Microsoft Windows since Windows 3.0 in 1990. Windows 3.x creates a hidden file named 386SPART.PAR or WIN386.SWP for use as a swap file. It is generally found in the root directory, but it may appear elsewhere (typically in the WINDOWS directory).
Each VM has a separate shadow page table and the hypervisor is in charge of managing them. While shadow page tables are faster than double translation, they are still expensive compared to not running in a virtual machine: every time a guest updates its page tables, it requires the hypervisor to also manage changes in the shadow tables.

Both unicast and multicast streams are supported (multicast streams also use a proprietary and partially encrypted Windows Media Station (*.nsc) file for use by a player.) Typically, Windows Media Player is used to decode and watch/listen to the streams, but other players are also capable of playing unencrypted Windows Media content (Microsoft ...
In computing, protected mode, also called protected virtual address mode, [1] is an operational mode of x86-compatible central processing units (CPUs). It allows system software to use features such as segmentation, virtual memory, paging and safe multi-tasking designed to increase an operating system's control over application software.
