This is what I did...
Cleaned all temp files TIF and so on plus and temp logs.
Checked use of C:= 575MB
Did scandisk and defrag.
Checked C:=542MB
Turned off VM, did the restart.
Checked C:=474MB
Did another defrag.
C: still 474MB
Turned VM back on and let Windows manage it. Reboot
C:=546MB
74MB of VM seems aweful small.
But I guess Windows will increase the size as the disk gets more data.
And I guess it would really grow if you don't do periodic maintenance
cleaning.
I would at least set it equal to RAM as minimal and 1.5x RAM as Max.
Which in my case would be 256MB.min and 385MB.max.
What you think?

Always have been curious about setting it to 1.5xRam.
Does it make sense to you?
If you only have 64MB of ram, then that figure would be 96MB.
If you have 512MB of ram, then that figure would be 768MB.
In other words, that kinda means that the more physical ram you have, the higher
the min should be.
Make sense to you?? :-)

PS: I think that if you have more ram than you use, you wouldn't need virtual
memory.
And if you did, it really shouldn't be more than if you only had 64MB.
