Hi,

This may have been already covered in the link Snowbound provided (I didn't look), but ...

If you've been using Win a while, and are familiar with earlier versions, the "page file" is pretty much the same as what we used to call a swap file -- simply a huge file on your drive where memory contents could be saved if Win needed the physical memory for something else temporarily.

Best,
Mike
