Free Memory

The question is why anyone would be running a 8MB chip in system today :)

All the best,

If your system takes 200MB to boot, then you have either disabled VM, or
are
running too many programs in the background - ME WILL run quite happily in
64MB (and I've run it in less, 'in extremis')

Just looking at my Off Topic Windows 98SE machine here, which also takes
more
than 200 MB of RAM to boot up: the Fonts folder has 252 files in one
folder and
is exactly 100 MB big! I wouldn't dare get rid of fonts unless I had
prime
information on how to do it.

All I can say is that the PC has been running happily for some time now.
She is not running any programs in the background and it worked just fine on
128 megs....

Make a bigger swapfile.

ME's memory manager is quite capable of adjusting the size of the swapfile
to whatever is required (up to 2GB if necessary) - for the user to limit the
size in any way (other than specifying a minimum size) is asking for
trouble.
