TE - if you have the drivespace available, I'd suggest you make your "Virtual memory" bigger - my pc at home has a 60 gig HD - no way I'd ever come close to filling it - so I upped my virtual memory to a gig! 1024MB to be precise - and my XP box (with 512megs of physical rams) FLIES now! It takes only 15 seconds from poweron to boot! FAST!
