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
