Thank you, I have this running now, but jaws didn't tell me it is running so
I'm just trusting it is, unless there's a way of checking? I just round the
disc clean up and pressed enter on it, so hoping it will do it's bit and after
some time, I expect jaws to speak and read me the list that comes up, hope I've
got this right?
Thank you. from Christine.

In the first instance, you may as well use Windows own in-built "disk
Cleanup". Go to My Computer, right click on the drive in question, and click
on the "Disk Cleanup" button. The system will chunter away for a while, and
eventually come up with a screen giving you a list of files and folders it want
to delete, asking if you wish to proceed. It's quite safe to simply say OK at
this point, since it will not delete any of your personal files, etc., only
temporary files and such like. This process will take a while also if not done
for a while.
Ideally after you have done this, you should de-fragment the drive, but we
can deal with that later.
George.

Thanks Barry, I've seen my cookies ok.
Can you tell me if your programme would help me clear history? Better still,
as I don't like downloading programmes, how do I do that manually, I have done
it once or twice, but forgotten totally how to do that now.
Thanks for the help. Christine.

I've been using C Cleaner a Freeware app from
http://www.ccleaner.com
For around 4 years now. Clears cookies, and lots of other Caches.

Hi Christine, either you can do it manually as 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
johncoley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
John.

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
