Assuming you're using Windows XP, you can find the swap file by right-clicking the My Computer icon, then Properties, tab to Advanced. Click the Settings button in the Performance frame. Then click the new Advanced tab again. Probably the settings are that Windows is managing the page file. That is not optimal. There's a bit of discussion regarding the best settings. A good rule of thumb is setting the minimum swap file (often called page file) to 150% of your physical memory, and maximum swap file size to about 300%. My personal preferences are to set minimum and maximum size equal at a high number, that will prevent disk fragmentation. I've seen reports that Poser is less stable with large swapfiles (larger than 2 GB), but I can't confirm those reports. Anyway, don't set it lower than 1 GB. And if you have multiple physical disks (not just multiple drive letters), it's a good idea to place the swapfile on the fastest disk in the system, preferably another physical disk than the OS disk.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
