Does pagefile usage rise and fall at an acceptable level or steadily
rise?

You may find it helpful to know exactly how much of your pagefile is
being used. Use page file monitor to observe what is the peak usage.
Start it to run immediately after start-up and look at the log at the
end of the session.The log is Pagefile log.txt. If you right click on
the file in Windows Explorer and select Send to, Desktop (Create
Shortcut). The same applies to XP_PageFileMon.exe.

A small utility to monitor pagefile usage:http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm

Note programs using undo features particularly those associated with
graphics and photo editing require large amounts of memory so if you
use this type of programme check these first observing how the page
usage increases when they start and whether the usage decreases when
you close the programme.

Is Adobe Acrobat Reader used?

Have you compared incident times to Scheduled Tasks?

What programmes are typically running at any one time?

Is the computer left on 24/7?

No high utilization apps are used on this notebook - user is a slow
typer that mainly uses it for email and occasional documents. - very
low utilization

Adobe Reader is used - but not noticeable when the issue occurs.

No custom scheduled tasks. Occasional Virus scanners, but not always
when the problem occurs.

Outlook, Excel and Word. Small excel documents - not big
spreadsheets.
