Anyone with suggestions As a thought, if you have multiple disks with multiple primary partitions, DOS 5 will change the drive letter from that assigned by DOS 3.3 - for your convenience ;^> This wreaks havoc on your program manager items, PIF's etc. It's possible that it may also virtually move the swapfile from where windows thinks it is. Try running swapfile again and perhaps turn on visiblity of hidden files and look for the swapfile file on your partitions, it's probably there somewhere. Cheers, Ralph
