Re: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
Do you have a second internal hd in your box? You can manually set the size of the swap file (virtual memory); the recommended size is 1.5 times the amount of hardware RAM in your system. however, this is a setting you should only takcle if you are comfotable doing so and also know what you are doing. *g* If you set this up wrong, your box might not boot anymore and that's something to be avoided. So maybe you have a computer geeky friend to walk you thru the steps the first time. Once you know your way aroudn the settings and get comfrotable with it, this is not difficult at all and i have manually been configuring my swap file for more than 10 years and going back to win 9x.. If you have a second physical hard drive in your box (an internal not an external drive) you can further speed up your system by putting most of your virtual memory on the second drive, preferably on a partition of its own so the page file does not become fragmented. Again, though, this is something you want to be sure you know what you are doing so that you don't accidentally render your box inoperational. If having the page file on a 2nd drive is not an option, there are utilities out there that will defrag system files - and the page file (virtual menory is such a system file) during bootup as they cannot be accessed and defragged during regular windows operation because they are in use then. There are several good defrag programs available that have the option of defragging system files at bootup. I like open source and free and am using "ultradefrag" for this . And to get this back on course *g*, "Ultradefrag" does work quite nicely with jaws. *smile* Before changing settings, though, make sure your computer is running at its best being properly maintained with regular spyware checks, not running unnecessary programs and services in the background, being defragged regularly, etc. and if you do decide to monkey around with your virtual menory settings, be really careful, create a restore point before you do, and preferably have someone walk you thru the steps in the beginning. This said, I monkeyed for myself but I have the luxury of having a fully sighted hubby who saves my butt every now and then when I get in trouble. *g* Good luck and safe computing!

To change this so that the file is moved instead of copied, hold down the Shift key when you click the desired destination. This works when standard folders are the target destination but the special folder (My) Documents only seems to accept the copy action.
