Right click on My Computer, Select Properties, Performance Tab --&gt; Virtual Memory --&gt; Change and then reduct Maximum Size.<br />
However significantly reducing your pagefiel (swap space) can have an adverse affect on performance.

c:\ drive has a capacity of 2 GB, what should I reduce the swap size down to? Will this automatically change the size of the pagefile.sys or is a reboot required?

well you don't need that much, the 2x rule kind of went out of the window when RAM started getting big, but disks are pretty big these days. &nbsp;HOwever I's say 200-300Mb is not excessively big, you might want to move some files onto another disk, or add a second (or third) paging file on your other partitions, assuming you have space.<br />
<br />
Have you enough space on other disks?
