- TITLE :Swap File Error When Installing Lotus Improv 2.0
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- When you install Lotus Improv version 2.0 in Windows NT, you may
- receive an error message indicating that the permanent swap file was
- not found or is not large enough. You may receive this error message
- even if you have a sufficient paging file (PAGEFILE.SYS) in Windows
- NT.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- This error message may be caused by Improv not recognizing
- PAGEFILE.SYS in Windows NT. It can also be caused by not having a swap
- file at least twice the size of physical RAM in the computer.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- If you ignore the error message and continue with the installation,
- Lotus Improv should install correctly.
-
- MORE INFORMATION
- ================
-
- When you install Lotus Improv version 2.0, its Setup program checks
- for a Windows 3.x permanent swap file. If it does not find a swap
- file, or if it finds one that is less than twice the size of the
- amount of physical RAM on the computer, you will receive a swap file
- error message.
-
- According to Lotus technical support, if you have 32 megabytes (MB) of
- RAM, for example, the swap file would need to be 64 MB in order to
- avoid this warning. However, a swap file (or paging file) of that size
- is not necessary when running Lotus Improv. (According to Lotus, this
- message is provided for users who run Improv on computers with less
- RAM, such as 4 MB, 8 MB, and so on). In Windows NT, the paging file is
- usually set to 12 MB plus the amount of physical RAM. Therefore, on a
- 32 MB computer, the paging file would be set up to be about 44 MB.
- This of course, is not twice the amount of physical RAM, so Lotus
- Improv's installation may generate the error message.
-

- 386-8600.
