OK, Help Me Move The Swap File
I need to move the swap file from C: to D: so the Sims game that is installed there may play alittle better.
Can someone walk me through this? Carl |

Dragon,
Thank you for the help. Have another question. With the swap file moved to D:, how will that affect the C:, if any? Carl |

It wont affect the C drive in any way at all except that you don't have to worry as much about running it out of space.

oh by the way do a defrag on the C: drive to get rid of all the bumps and holes that the swap file made on the hard disk, it should help access times out a little more.
