"When you boot your machine, Windows creates a special file - the swap file - on your hard drive.
Windows uses that file as auxiliary memory, temporarily storing in there stuff it does not immediately need to do its work.
Windows' reliance on the swap file is increased when you don't have enough physical memory, or random access memory. That is especially true if you are dealing with very large files -- such as those with photographs -- and if you have a lot of programs loaded into memory.
Although XP can and does increase virtual memory by creating a large swap file on the fly, the best solution is to add physical memory to the PC. These days 512 megs or more is the ideal."

Click on start - control panel - system - advanced - performance - advanced - settings - vitual memory - change.

Hmm, the default settings for Windows XP usually call for a dynamic swap file, which means it expands to whatever size Windows needs, depending on demand. Unless your swap file is on a partition that is almost full.
The quickest way to get to your swap file settings is to right click on "My Computer" on your desktop, then select "Properties", go to the "Advanced" page and press the "Performance: Settings" button. Go to "Performance Options" and select the "Advanced" page and there you'll find the option to change your Virtual Memory settings if necessary. Usually "System Managed Size" will work just fine.
