Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure I understood it.
Power management for HDD is set to "Never" - I checked that after seeing earlier posts, standby after 1 hour. Of course, it is possible that when someone says they've played W&W for 10-15mins it was possibly 1 hour, but it is the copy on D: that runs pretty much OK, on C: crashing although I have tested it for up to 10 minutes and it was OK. (If registry was unhappy I would not expect it to run at all).

On reflection, I want 2 different copies anyway as I don't want to have to share savegame slots - they're fairly limited already!
Mainly I am wondering if I should set a max swapfile size, to stop Windows re-sizing it - say, 1 Gb would leave W&W 1.5Gb to play with?
