did you used a disk doubler (doublespace?)  I know that it
won't allow a permanent swap file on a doubled volume.
If you did double it, change the compression rato, and put
the swapfile on the non-doubled partition.

If you're running any network software you have to unload it before
windows will let you set up a permanent swap file.
