- Windows is probably taking 30 seconds to deleted this 10M file! You've got
- 6 megs of real RAM, and you're only running 1 app at a time, 10M falls into
- the realm of overkill.
-
- >Has anyone seen this problem? Any clue as to what causes it?
- I have heard it said that PS/2s exhibiting this behaviour can benefit from
- adding the line InitPS2MouseAtExit=False in the [386enh] section of
- your SYSTEM.INI.
-
- But do your bit for science, and let us know what happens if you just set
- your swap file to none :-)
