TITLE :Windows Error Message: Corrupt Swap File Warning
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
- Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Microsoft Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1 allow you to create a permanent
swap file on an MS-DOS 6.0 DoubleSpace drive. If you do this, you
receive one of the following messages when you restart Windows:
Windows 3.1:
Corrupt Swap File Warning - The permanent swap file is corrupt
Windows 3.0:
Corrupt Swap File Warning - Your swap file is corrupt
To work around this situation, delete the permanent swap file and
create a permanent swap file on your host drive.
Note: The host drive is the drive that actually contains the
DoubleSpace compressed volume file (CVF). For more information, run
DoubleSpace and choose Contents from the Help menu.
More Information:
Windows Doesn't Detect DoubleSpace
----------------------------------
Windows cannot create a permanent swap file on CVFs created by disk
compression programs such as DoubleSpace, Stacker, and SuperStor.
Since Windows does direct disk read/write operations to a permanent
swap file, the swap file must be located on a physical hard disk, not
a CVF.
Because DoubleSpace had not been developed when Windows 3.1 was
released, it was not possible to add detection code to Windows to
prevent it from installing on a DoubleSpace drive.
Additional Problems with Windows 3.0
------------------------------------
When you run Windows 3.0 in real mode (in order to run SWAPFILE.EXE),
you receive the following message:
Unsupported DOS version; upgrade to DOS version 3.1 or higher
This message is obviously incorrect. To work around this situation,
run SPATCH.BAT, which is located on your original MS-DOS 6.0 disks.
For more information on DoubleSpace, type the following at the MS-DOS
command prompt:
help dblspace
