Most PC's have it set so the PC manages it automatically but worth checking to see if it's too low. One of our old IT support staff used to set all XP PC's to 666 mbyte which caused havoc with bigger spread sheets.

Thanks, it is indeed a bit low, lower than the recommended settings, so I am going to change that and see how it goes.
Interesting that it says "automatically manage..." (this is ticked), and then the recommended settings are much higher.
