Phil,Does this mean that you think I should remove the page files from drive c: and f: and create a 10Gb page file on drive f: to achieve better results ?Is it possible to have Windows XP control the size of the file if I do that ?Dave.

Thats what i did, allows windows acces to swapfile and FSX bothe at same time reducing loading times. Id set the minimum size at around 1.5 gig or so and max at around 2.5. Leave it on drive c. defrag drive f, then create it on drive f, and remove off drive c it will give you an unfragmentd swapfile.

mjrhealth,I'm not sure that can achieve anything - I had 4Gb (defragged)on that drive originally and the scenery could not load quick enough.Dave.
