Hi John, I found the cookies folder like you said and all that is in there is
something called index so I've left it how it is as I have no idea what index
is all about?
Thanks for the help. I'll save your instructions and do this from time to
time as my computer does often run slow eventually leading to a reformat, so
this may save me sometime! lol
Thanks again, I've learnt something new and your instructions are very clear.

foolows:
click on my computer. go to local drive C. go to documents and settings,
then to the administrator folder, which may be called administrator, or may be
called your name. In there you'll find a folder called cookies. Select all the
files with control a and press delete. You'll get a message from windows asking
you if you want to delete them. Say yes. The only file in there it won't delete
is index.dat.
Alternatively, if you let me have your email address I'll send you the
programme I use to clear my cookies. My email address is

Hi Andy, I take it he clears his cookies? If he doesn't over time that
will slow a system to a crawl.

Thanks Barry - this was for a friend, his machine has been running very
slow, as in taking ages to open a web page, or even the control panel, this is
why I thought the virtual memory thing might be the issue; I had him look
there, but although swap file by name wasn't there under
system\advance\performance, vertual memory was, and it had the number 575
against it, telling us we could extend it to a maximum of 776--not sure about
these numbers--anyway, it didn't help, perhaps is machine is knackered! -

Andy,
You'll need to increase your Virtual Memory. In Control Panel. To
set these values, click System, click Advanced system settings , and then click
Settings under Performance. Typically 1.5 times your installed RAM is the
number most home-users need.
How much RAM do you have int hat machine? It may be an idea to
upgrade.
Cheers,
Barry

Hi all - Can somebody give me some pointers regarding the swap file
for an XP machine?
A message pops ups saying something about shortage of virtual space
or memory, and if I recall correctly, this is something to do with the swap
file, but I don't know where to access it, or what to do with it <smile>
Help appreciated -
Andy
