Hi Daave
Sorry i guess i should add to the bottom of the discussion, i will
remember next time!
No need to apologize, Richard. Actually, there is no standard way of
posting in the Microsoft groups. I prefer in-line posting with
appropriate clipping. It's easiest to follow, especially for others.
The method you detailed on how to change the page file is the one i
used. I have set it to an initial size of 50 and a maximum size of 50
on C: and none on D: - so it now shows '50 - 50' for C: and blank
for D:
I've read through the links Ken gave, i will changing to '2 - 50' for
C: and '100 - 3000' on D: at some point soon as i suspect that my
current settings would cause problems sooner or later. (Dell only
gave the c drive 12 gig).
When you say, "Dell only gave the c drive 12 gig," do you mean you have
only one physical hard disk with two partitions? If so, you should only
have one pagefile, and that should be on C:.
So, again, this is what I would do (from Dave Taylor's site):
Start --> My Computer
In the left hand column click View System Information.
In the next System Properties window that opens click on the Advanced
tab.
In the first box called Performance click on Settings.
In the next pop-up window click the Advanced tab.
In the bottom box where it's labeled "Virtual Memory", you've guessed
it, click on Change.
In the new Virtual Memory window it should show you all incidences of
paging files on your system. Highlight the one you want to get rid of
(in your case, the one on D: drive) and select the "no paging file"
check box and then press set.

For good measure, I would then change the C: drive pagefile setting to
"System Managed Size."
But im still at a loss to explain why there is now no delay switching
to programs which have been idle for a while - unless it was
dumping itself to the page file and had to reload?
That would depend on what the settings were *before* you started
tweaking.
