I don't have so much RAM memory and I read that enlarging the swap file may help. Where is that file and how do I enlarge it? I'm using a PC with Windows Xp.

This is modern technic, you can do it:
Right click on My computer>Properties>Advance>(click 'Settings' of Performance)>Advance(beside of Visual Effects)>Change>(for entaring Initial Size (MB) & Maximum Size (MB) see below)
For entaring paging value in Initial & Maximum Size box, you have to put same value in these two box!
If you have 256 RAM the values are 384. This mean you have to put 384 & 384 in Initial & Maximum Size box!
If have 512 RAM, the values= 768.
(Just multiply your RAM x 1.5).
If you have 1GB RAM stick on 768!
Click on set and retsart!
Me and my freinds using this technic for last 1 year, we found it on PC WORLD, my PC never hang or freeze for last one year!
