| | Re: virtual memory Not clear. I have 3 partitions: C is Vista 32 Ultimate first hd> virtual memory here is necessary? D is Programs first hd> virtual memory here is necessary? F is Archive second hd> virtual memory here is necessary? If I put my virtual memory on the second hd partition F managed by the system is enough? Not problems at startup of virtual memory failure? still happen to me!

| | Re: virtual memory Are you now saying that you are having a problem with virtual memory? What is the problem? Please be exact in your answer and give the "exact" wording of any error message you receive. Where is the virtual memory (page file) located now. How big is the file? How much free space is available on the partition on which it is located? Details! Details!

| | Re: virtual memory I usually install an old HDD and assign the swap file to that drive exclusively. I use any HDD over 8GB and let Windows manage the size of the file. If it needs more room than that, something is wrong. Having a dedicated drive means no waiting while the drive tries to read programs or files on other sections of the disk. The swap file can be on any partition of any HDD that the OS recognizes.

| | Re: virtual memory Problems? Not now but in the past. My virtual memory now is 200 to 800MB located on partition C (Vista Ultimate OS) Space is enough the partition size is 48GB and used 13GB. I want to clear this virtual memory on partition C and move it to partition F on the second hd (250GB) that has a lot of space available. Possible have all the virtual memory only on the second hd and used by Vista here? I set automatic managed by the system?
