'time out' for the pc and still other times in frustration a reinstall of the particular software - does this perhaps spell the demise of the hard disk drive? - although i have run multiple norton utilities, and virus scans (with the latest dats) and ms scandisk sessions and cant seem to detect and bad things.???? cheer will	Guest (0)

(I'm going by memory for this) You do it by right-clicking my computer|Advanced then click on|Performance or paging file or similar. Change the settings so you can type in an amount. Depending on your RAM I guess setting it to equal to your amount of RAM. This should allow for more swapping area for your RAM. HTH	Guest (0)
