Right Click on "My Computer"
Choose "Properties" --> Advanced --> performance options --> change virtual
memory

Add 128MB to what you have for the MAX. value.

You might want to think about increasing the "real" RAM on the system.

You need a bigger pagefile. I recommend that you let the system manage the
size of the pagefile.

I'd also found that having the paging file on a separate hard-drive to really
help with performance as well. That is, if the OS is installed on the C:\
drive as usual, and if the system does in fact have more than one physical
drive, let's say the F:\ drive:
create the page file on the F:\ drive at 100% +/- 10% of main memory
(for example, if you have 512MB of RAM, use a pagefile size of 576mb etc)
I don't think this gains any performance edge if the same hard drive is
partitioned to have multiple "virtual" drives, when both C:\ and F:\ are
actually in the same physical device.
Are there stability, security, other environmental factors that one would
recognize to not 'home' the page file on a separate drive?
Thanks

That' very true. Just make sure the "other" drive is not in a master-slave
relationship
with the "C:" drive or no benefit will be realized.
