One thing I can think of right now is that you might have too big of a
swapfile on your disk. Try this, boot up to windows and click on the
about option in help. Check to see if you are running in enhanced mode
or not.  Now go to the control panel group and select 386 icon. In this
program their are options to set swapfile size and temp/perm options.
Unless you run alot of apps at the same time, 2-3 meg swap should be
enough for most people,(besides I find it's unwise to run alot of apps
simultaneuosly, as they can conflict sometimes, mostly depends on your
memory amount but 4 mb should be plenty.). Anyway see how much you now
have assigned. You also should open filemgr and select view and options
to select view system/hidden files. You might have files(old undeleted
swap files taking up space.) that you can delete.
