Is something happening to make your swap file grow dramatically in size?

A corrupted file a do this. Can you link the messages to any particular =
programme you run?

How large is your hard disk? In Windows Explorer right click on your C =
drive and select Properties. Is your hard disk partitioned? How much ram =
memory?

You might try monitoring memory and swap file in use. I suggest you run =
System Monitor. Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System =
Monitor. Select Edit, Add Item, click on Kernel ( Category ) and select =
Memory Manager ( Category ) select items Swap file in use and Unused =
physical memory. Select View, Line Charts and View, Tool Bar and Status =
Bar. Create a log starting before you expect the problem and leave it =
running minimised and then look at it later. If you are generating =
significant Swap file in use figures ( not Swap file size ) it is =
indicative that additional RAM memory may help.=20

If System Monitor is not there when you go to set it up select Start, =
Settings, Control Panel, Add / Remove Programs, Windows Setup. Scroll =
down window and click on System Tools and browse down and click on =
System Monitor. Click on OK and exit. Have your Windows CD handy as you =
may be asked to insert the disk.
