How to set the paging file

Introduction
The operating system requires additional disk space for the paging file (virtual memory; this is

The size of the paging file depends on the memory configuration of the PC. We recommend
the following setting:
"Swap file managed automatically"
Configuring virtual memory
Refer to the online help of the operating system to learn how to open the dialog for configuring
