No, do what Cdr Gibs recommended, set it to a manual/fixed sized.

Well I changed it to a preset value...but it wont let me enter anything larger than 4096 mb....so that is what I entered......

Set the minimun value just near to that maximun value.... in example 4090 or 4092 to ensure a big virtual memory capacity always.

Every Month?! I do it like, every 6 months...:oops:

It just takes so looooooong!

Well if you wait that long it will take forever.

I defrag manually every other day, which takes about 30 seconds :|\\ and I'm using Diskeeper 10 as well. The program also allows me to bootup defrag which will get everything else that normal defragging won't get.

I havnt defraged in almost 2 years! the problem with my pc was that the HD was copied from another one, and the copying program, made the sections of the HD so small, that now nothing can comprehend defraging it, it will just say I dont have enough memory free

edit: I just checked it! i havnt defragged in 1105 days!

Ok the best thing you can do is Uninstall as much as you can of old, boring, unused programs that you can and also clear out as many stray bits that you can find of say old log files, images, video's, mp3's ect ect. Then grab Partion Magic (any version, I use v.8) and use that to redo your HDD partions and make them bigger. This will mean at least 1 partion will most likely have to go. Now the good bit about partion magic is that it can redo partions on the fly without data loss. Its not 100% recommended by the makers of Partion Magic, as always the CYA policy is to back up first. BUT I have been using Partion Magic for over 5 years now and todate never had any drama with it.

1's thats done you will now have room to breath on your C: drive. If nothing else at least make sure you get more space on your C: drive and Defrag it. Since its the Drive used to run your OS (therefore your PC from) its always advisable to leave C: drive with at least 30% of the drive empty to allow for system maintance and other system related apps.

In fact as a rule I only ever install the OS and system related apps/files to my C: drive. I never install anything else to C: drive. That includes games, 3D rendering programs ect ect. Thats what D:,E:,F:,G:, H:, I:, J: and K: HDD's are for. ;)
