- That's strange, because I tried WfW on Monday and it loaded just fine
- - slowly of course, but it worked. I was also amused to see BigDesk
- (the virtual desktop program) run fine under Win NT. The only app I
- couldn't get to run was Win 3.1 Write. No wonder MS guys didn't get it
- ported. ;) Try incrreasing your swap file, maybe the 20 MB minimum is
- too little. I have a 24 MB paging file now.
