it's a paging file that windows sets up on yr hard drive that acts as virtual RAM. if you have the drive space, you can increase this by going to programs > control panel > performance & maint. > system > advanced > performance settings > advanced > virtual memory (change) > try setting initial size to 1488 instead of the 744 that it's set to. getting RAM helps fix this. windows itself is the biggest RAM hog.
NOTE: unless you defrag after uninstalling, yr just making yr comp run even slower. that's the reason why windows gets so slow after time, everytime you install/uninstall it puts/leaves shit everywhere.
