Swap File

Hi,
I am finding that over night, my swap file on XP Pro is slowly being used
up, even though nothing is running on the system, the only way to restor it
is to re-boot. I have 4GB (I realise that XP32 does not use it all) of ram
and my swap file is set at 4GB Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hello,

With that amount of memory (4GB), are you sure you still need the swap file
on?

On our 3GB (used for all kind of purposes including gaming/designing)
system, we disable the swap file.

You can use Perfmom or Memsnap.exe to try to identify the pool leak.
Google on these with "paged pool leak" and you should find information
on how to identify the pool leak.
