I am running out of virtual memory when I run certain
applications. How do I enlarge the swap file?

1. Right-click "My Computer", and then click "Properties".

2. In the "System Properties" dialog box, click "Advanced"

3. Click "Performance Options".

4. In the "Virtual memory" pane, click "Change" to increase the paging
file. Windows 2000 requires an Initial value of 126 MB for debugging.

5. After you change the setting, click "Set", and then click "OK".

6. In the "System Control Panel Applet" dialog box, click "OK" to the
following message:

The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
they can take effect.

7. Click "OK" to close the "Performance Options" dialog box, and then
click "OK" to close the "System Properties" dialog box.

8. When you are prompted to restart your computer, click "Yes".
