How Rapid Resume saves
information
When you use Rapid Resume, the contents of memory
are saved in a special file on your hard disk every time
you turn off your computer. This is a hidden system file
called "_PS1SAVE.DAT". With Rapid Resume enabled, it
is created each time you start your computer by
pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
The size of this file depends on how much memory is
installed on your computer. If you install additional
memory, the size of the file increases when you press
Ctrl + Alt + Delete to start your computer. (If you are
using OS/2 Warp, you will need to reboot (restart) your
computer in Microsoft Windows to create the new
"_PS1SAVE.DAT" file. You can then return to OS/2
Warp.) If your hard disk does not have enough space for
the _PS1SAVE.DAT file, Rapid Resume cannot be
enabled until you create enough space for this file.
If you choose not to use Rapid Resume, you can delete
the _PS1SAVE.DAT file to free some space on your hard
disk. For more information about Rapid Resume and
specific instructions on how to delete the
_PS1SAVE.DAT file, see section 2.4 of the README.TXT
file located in the PS1TOOLS directory of your computer.
