Hi,

You need to increase the size of your swap file.

It is usually recommended that this is left to windows to adjust, so you mau
need to therefore free up some hard disc space or indeed consider a new one
?

Obviously using virtual memory is no replacement for just inserting some
more ram.

Hope this helps,

Kev

Far and away the best piece on the page file written is this article by the
late MVP Alex Nichol: "Virtual
Memory in Windows XP" at http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php I recommend
you read this to better understand how all this works.
