WinMe - Win386.SWP
My computer is not loaded with heavy duty stuff and to
this the Win386.swp file has been around 100MB. It is gradually increasing for about last two months and average around 250MB. The total contents of my C: drive/partition are only 3.25GB. and D: partition's are 17.8GB backup store. The total capacity of the HD is 36.1 GB. 256 MB Extended memory. Is there anything I can do to reduce the page file size? |

WinMe - Win386.SWP
If this really worries you, it's not something that I'd be worrying about,
you can limit the size of the swap file as follows Control Panel | System | Performance | Virtual Memory and check "Let me specify my own virtual memory settings". My Win Me system (128MB RAM) runs with a VM around 100MB immediately after booting when doing nothing with the size of the VM increasing as I open and use applications, especially those working with largish graphics files. -- Mike Maltby AAH wrote: My computer is not loaded with heavy duty stuff and to this the Win386.swp file has been around 100MB.

The only thing I would say is "don't disable it".
