If you use Windows NT, you may need to increase the maximum size of your swap file. You use the Performance tab of the System control panel item to set virtual memory settings. For large projects you may need to set this as large as 2 or 3 GB (2000 or 3000 MB).
This change is unnecessary for Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows ME if you let Windows manage your virtual memory settings (the default setting).
