You do not say if you tried re-running swapfile.exe (remember you have to run it
in real mode) to delete your permanent swap file and create a new one.  I don't
know why DOS 5 would cause this problem but making a new swap file is a fairly
quick thing to try.  It has solved other problems for me in the past.
