From an IT guy's perspective, I do not allow windows to manage swap space. I set a fixed-size swap file (between 1-3 time the actual memory, depending), and leave it there.

If it needs to increase swap, it will tend to do so at the most inopportune times. I think that's Bill's Corollary to Murphy's Law. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'd also check the size of your temporary internet file space. The IE default is 10% of your drive... yes, ten whopping percent. I prefer to give it 100MB -- do I really need more than 100 MB of browsing history? I don't think so, Tim...
