I have asked this question on Compuserve various times and have not had it
resolved so I thought I'd turn here for advice.

We are having many problems with windows when it comes to swap files.  We
cannot use Permanent swap files because they are consistantly corrupted,
temporrary swap files seem to work but then it still says the permanent swap
file is corrupted (again we are not using permanent swap files) each time
we re-start windows.  It keeps saying it will delete it or set it to zero
but to no avail, next time, same thing.  Even when you go into control panel,
it says the swap file on drive E: is corrupt and will be set to zero.  Not
surprising since there is no drive E: on the whole system (ultimately corrupt
I guess).  Is there any way to stabalize this?  I'd like to use permanent but
it will not accept it (our hard drives are almost entirely empty so there is
plenty of contiguous space).

Another question, when setting 32bit disk access to on, windows will not load
due to a compatibility problem with another driver.  The only addtional driver
we load is novell's VTCPIP.386 for Lan Workplace.  Is this the cuprit?

Thanks,
Jon
