Swap file and defragmenting.
For when running defrag VM make a swap file if the RAM MB's is to little for
the job ... Add more RAM MB's will help make defrag work quicker, if you do not have more MB's of RAM to add: just be patient ! "mm" wrote in message ... My win98 swap file is 2 gigs big and in 300 pieces. I have to defrag my C: partition, which is 20 gigs big. I have dual boot, and I'm not in win98 right now. Can't I just delete the swap file and save defrag the trouble of defragging it, plus make more room for other files, which also might make defrag work quicker, and then when I use win98 again, won't it make a new swap file when it starts? Thanks. |

Thanks. In 98, you can try adding the line ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 just below the [386Enh) header in the System.ini file. This basically forces the computer to use the physical ram first. If it doesn't help, you can set the value to 0 or put a ; in front of that line to disable it, or just delete that line and then reboot.. Buffalo |
