If you disable ViewState, and a page needs it, the page will no longer work.

Answer 2

As I suggested in your recent question, you should really read this article:

TRULY understanding ViewState

(actually, I think every ASP.NET developer should be forced to read and understand that article :-).

Then you will be able to make the correct decision. Also, the time spent reading and understanding the article will be a very good investment for the future.
