Andy,

 

Windows Key + Pause will bring up the System Properties .  On that first
page you can tab or mouse read it if Vista/7.  If XP you have to use yoru
Screen readers Mouse keys to read that page.

 

Cheers

Barry.

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
