Hi Rich,
"The number of hard faults per minute currently resulting from the application instance.
A hard fault (also known as a page fault) occurs when the page of the referenced address is no longer in physical memory and has been swapped out or is available from a backing file on disk. It is not an error. However, a high number of hard faults may explain the slow response time of an application if it must continually read data back from disk rather than from physical memory."
In the Resoure Monitor, click on Help and type "hard Fault" (no quotes) in the Search tab. You will get more information on this and all the other items to.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
