Right Click on "My Computer"
Choose "Properties" --> Advanced --> performance options --> change virtual memory
Add 128MB to what you have for the MAX. value.
You might want to think about increasing the "real" RAM on the system.

You should have noted that at the time the system was purchased. Physical RAM is always
preferred vs. Virtual Ram. For one, it is always faster.
Also think about reducing what's loaded in the background so that 512MB isn't wasted with
sh!t like Quick Time Task Manager or other software that remains resident all the time but
is used once in a while or rarely.

Have you started the programme since booting or is it in your StartUp
folder to load automatically when you boot?

Yes I guess if I don't want to unload programs when I run my panorama
software I will have to buy more memory. Counterspy is the program that
Microsoft bought to make Antispywear beta. But Counterspy checks cookies
also. If I unload Firefox I get a huge jump in memory. I hope version
1.5 now in beta 2 will use less memory. Thanks for the help.
