i've put threads up before about this but now it's beginning to really annoy me. i've tried every setting there is for this but when i've been playing a game, like medal of honor or unreal tournament 2003, when i go back to the desktop it takes ages to open a new window, IE6 or anything really. i've tried all sorts like setting the vm to 1.5 times the amount of ram i've got to even higher. i've even disabled it and all i keep getting is warnings saying windows xp is low on virtual memory. does anyone have any idea what could be causing it to slow down after exiting a game. i've got ram idle program installed. and my system specs are :-

amd athlon 1800xp
512mb ddr ram
geforce4 ti 4400 128mb
creative audigy

i have noticed that in the bios settings for the graphics card that video cache is disabled, would it help to enable it?

thanks in advance
