Change your settings using Control Panel - System - Advanced -
Performance Settings - Advanced - Virtual Memory Change.

RightClick on My Computer, click properties>advanced. In the performance
section click settings>advanced. In Virtual memory section you see the
current total paging file size. Click change which shows the current setting
and allows you to change to what you want. It says the best setting for this
is 1 1/2 times the R(andom)A(ccess)M(emory).

No, neither 1-1/2 times nor nor any factor of the amount of
installed RAM is correct. In general, the more RAM you have, you
*smaller* your paging file can be.

Bill if you have an intel chipset check the www.intel.com site to see if a
download of the intel accelerator is available for your specific chipset.
That should fix the virtual memory problem.

Thanks, Harry...but mine is a VIA chipset and AND Athlon processor.
