Hi there,

Hope you don't mind my butting in to this but have been reading these postings with great interest (learning as well) and this comment about virtual memory caught my attention. Checked my computers settings and it's set for "let windows manage my virtual memory (recommended) Is this best or is it really better to set it yourself and if so what should it be set at.

I don't have any problems at the moment, just thought I'd ask

In general, Windows will manage that setting perfectly well. You need to interfere only if you have particular programmes (or data --- like images) which use so much memory that there is a problem.
