Hi David,
The following steps describes how to change the size of virtual memory on a
Windows 2000 system.
Open System in Control Panel.
On the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, and under Virtual memory,
click Change.
In the Drive list, click the drive that contains the paging file you want
to change.
Under Paging file size for selected drive, type a new paging file size in
megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, and then click
Set.
If you decrease the size of either the minimum or maximum page file
settings, you must restart your computer to see the effects of those
changes. Increases typically do not require a restart.
Note:
You must be logged on as an administrator to the local computer to change
the size of your computer's paging file.
For best performance, set the initial size to not less than the recommended
size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is
equivalent to 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your system.
Usually, you should leave the paging file at its recommended size, although
you might increase its size if you routinely use programs that require a
lot of memory.
To delete a paging file, set both initial size and maximum size to zero.
