- I recently upgraded to Windows 3.1 and seem to be having a great deal
- of trouble with swapfiles. My setup:
- 386/33 8MB RAM
- Adaptec 1542A SCSI Controller
- Quantum 80MB and Maxtor 120MB SCSI drives
- HIMEM.SYS, EMM386.SYS (Win 3.1 versions)
- SMARTDRV.SYS (Win 3.1 version w/ double buffering)
- RAMDRIVE.SYS (512K in extended; Win 3.1 version)
- ASPI4DOS.SYS (V 3.0A w/ /V option)
- MOUSE.SYS, ANSI.SYS, JETSCRPT.SYS (QMS JetScript driver)
- MS-DOS 5.0
- I this setup everything works fine until I try and use a swapfile. With
- Win 3.0 I could use a temporary swapfile, but I could not set up a permanent
- swapfile. With Win 3.1 I can't use any type of swapfile. If I do set one up
- Windows locks up the machine on exit (time for the three-fingered salute), I
- lose most of my program groups, and most of the files on my hard disk are
- corrupted (cross-linked, truncated, etc.). I really need to be able to use
- a swapfile to run Mathematica proberly (even with 8MB RAM). Does anyone
- know of a fix for this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
