Sorry, Broxi. Youth is not on my side, which version of Windows?

Go to Start | Control Panel | System | Advanced Tab
Click Advanced Tab again
Then in the Virtual Memory section, click the Change button

Click either System Managed Size or Custom Size
If you choose the first, Windows looks after things for you
If you choose the second option, then you must set an upper and a lower limit
You shouldn't set it for more than 2½ times the size of your Physical RAM,

So if you have 256Mb of RAM you should set the limits to 640Mb
If you have above 512MB, set it to only twice the size of you physical RAM

If you have only got 128Mb RAM, that's fine
