>> Is there a way to specify the location of swapfiles in Animator Studio? What am I missing? << hi Bruce. for any Windows application (including AAS) the location of the swap files is controlled in the Windows system file SYSTEM.INI. the environment variable TEMP is used by default. check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file for SET TEMP= statement which points to where swaps are created. also, to change locations, edit SYSTEM.INI with any text editor… find the portion of the file [NonWindowsApp] and add the statement Swapdisk=x where x is the directory path. for example: [NonWindowsApp] Swapdisk=e:\temp sets swap files to the e drive, temp directory. make sure the drive has at least 1MB space free (i usually recommend 50MB, or 16MB is using a RAMdisk), the fastest drive you have, and if possible use the drive with the most amount of free hard drive space available. -dave
