Do you have a Windows swap file?
If you do not already have one, create a permanent swap file in the Virtual
Memory section of the 386 Enhanced control panel. Use the size
suggested in the dialog box; however, make sure you have at least 20 MB
or more of available space on the selected drive. For more information,
see the Microsoft Windows User's Guide.
Is SmartDrive taking up too much memory?
SmartDrive, the DOS disk-caching utility, can take up a lot of memory
and can reduce the usable size of your swap file. If you are using a
computer with less than 6 MB of physical memory, you should limit the
SmartDrive cache for Windows to 256K. To do this, edit your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Find a line that starts with
DEVICE=C:\SMARTDRV.EXE (there may also be some parameters on
this line). The line could also have couple of numbers, such as
DEVICE=C:\SMARTDRV.EXE 2048 1024. If these two numbers are
present, change the second number to 256 or even 128. If these two
numbers are not present, add them as 256 256 or even 256 128. (The
first number represents the cache size under DOS; the second number
under Windows.) Then save the file and restart your computer.
Is there enough memory available in DOS before starting Windows?
Before Windows starts, check the amount of memory available by typing
MEM at the DOS prompt. The largest executable program size should be
at least 450K. If it isn't, see your DOS and Windows user's guides for
information about optimizing memory.
Are there enough file handles set in CONFIG.SYS?
Try increasing by 20 the line FILES= in your CONFIG.SYS file, and then
restart your computer. For example, if the line currently reads FILES=30,
change it to FILES=50, save the file, and restart your computer.
