- One thing I can think of right now is that you might have too big of a
- swapfile on your disk. Try this, boot up to windows and click on the
- about option in help. Check to see if you are running in enhanced mode
- or not. Now go to the control panel group and select 386 icon. In this
- program their are options to set swapfile size and temp/perm options.
- Unless you run alot of apps at the same time, 2-3 meg swap should be
- enough for most people,(besides I find it's unwise to run alot of apps
- simultaneuosly, as they can conflict sometimes, mostly depends on your
- memory amount but 4 mb should be plenty.). Anyway see how much you now
- have assigned. You also should open filemgr and select view and options
- to select view system/hidden files. You might have files(old undeleted
- swap files taking up space.) that you can delete.
