Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance (Settings) -> Advanced -> Virtual memory


is where you can set your virtual memory, although you should be careful setting it yourself as it can cause problems if you set it too high.

Cheers I'll have a look at that when I get home.

Sorry again what would you recommend raising my virtual memory too?

You could quite easily (and cheaply) now buy a new processor. Just make sure it is compatable with your Motherboard before taking the plunge. Also RAM is really cheap nowadays. Another 512mb stick will be nothing.

It's almost impossible to say really - it depends on your PC, how much disk space is being used and plenty of things. Only increase it a small amount from the default value. It should tell you what is recommended, how much free space you have etc. If you have loads of spare disk space you can probably double your virtual memory, but I'd advise just increasing it maybe 10% at first.

My work PC has 6GB virtual memory, but my home laptop has more like 400MB so it's impossible to give specific advice!

Virtual Memory should be set to 1.5x your ram amount, so if u have 512mb, u should use 768mb as custom min-max value.
