Hmm - not sure about fixed-size swapfiles - I don't like 'em much unless they're fixed at 2GB. Fixed size is the only way, that I am aware of, to get it to D: from default C: Don't have a copy facility other than Windows OS to perform task. It came up as a means of reducing swapfile defragmentation, stable at 3 fragments. My processor is Celeron 733Mhz How big is drive C:? C: drive holds all 'Program Files' as some only work where OS is located. Size varies. Since I am still working on re-install of WinME, currently size is 5.GB half used. New programs use it up pretty fast until their caches can be moved to DATA:E or TEMPS such as Outlook Express, Netscape, RealPlayer. Have not found WMP caches yet. There's really not a lot of point in locating the swapfile on a second partition of the primary HD - it may actually slow the system down in certain circumstances, as the head has further to travel This has me confused! Read about using this on a newsgroup about a year and a half ago. There is a little increase in performance. When TEMP etc moved there, re-installation of OS is made easier. Track zero error shows up every 6 months or so. Repair shop has tested drive for several days using their own WinME OS too. Don't have confidence that their OS will work any better than my OEM CDs. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) |

Window ME Tweaks
Firstly, adobe what? and which edition / version? (is it advertised as being
compatible with your operating system) Second, what operating system (e.g. Windows Millennium) are you running on "this computer"? (the make and model of the computer may be helpful too) Thirdly, what error reports do you see when "it keeps rejecting it"? (tell us the exact wording of any rejection reports or describe any other indications of failure) And finally, what "start up issues"? (might be worth fixing them first before you try installing anything else, as they may or may not be related to the "adobe" issues) Mart "Coppertone69" wrote in message ...
