How do I turn it off please? Vince :) |

These methods get you into the System Properties, from there Click on the Advanced tab. Now inside the Performance box click Settings and in the new window Performance Options click the Advanced tab. At the bottom is the Virtual memory box, click the Change button. You are now inside the Virtual Memory window, inside the white box has Drive letter, Name of the disk and amount set for the Page File, click on the drive(s) that have an amount set and choose No paging file. You will be required to restart when finished. Just OK everything and that's it. Kame |
