How can you possibly determine, for sure, that unnecessary reader movement
was not a factor in HD failure. Or, come to think of it, have you never had one fail?...Right JAX "Testy" wrote in message ... Moving the pagefile is the first thing I do on every system I install.

And that has something to do with gender?

Hi Tom, Are you using one of the computers at the library? I use the one at the office in my apartment complex. I think it is faster than the one at the local library.
