Re: Messenger & Disk Churning

Logic - When I run Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger my disk does not
churn. In fact, even as I type this in Outlook Express my disk is not
churning...

Your system might need some extra RAM. What might be happening is that your
system is low on RAM and the Windows Messenger application, when launched,
is using both physical memory (RAM) and virtual memory (pagefile).
