I've been having trouble getting Half-Life 2: Episode One to run properly. I've visited the Steam support website and they suggested that if the paged pool memory when the game is running is larger than 150 MB that the system is using too much paged pool memory. They suggest ending processes that use paged pool memory, but I'm hesitant to start mucking about with system processes, especially if I'm unsure of which ones are essential and which ones aren't.
From Steam Support website:

"If you have determined that your system is using too much paged pool memory, you can resolve the issue by closing processes that are using paged pool memory. You may determine which processes are using paged pool memory by watching the Paged Physical value as you close a process."

If anybody has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. I do not know what system information you need, but some other websites have suggested I run these and post.
