    running on low disk space

    The bigger you make the swap file (by assigning a high value to min and max), the less space you have on the harddrive for other files. I thinks it's just a question of wasting space if the swap file is too big.

    Can I install Full ME over Win 98se?

    I've been purusing the ME forum and general opinion is ME needs LOTS of resources to multitask. I have two machines running ME. They're practically identical- 128meg, 15gig HD, 400 MHz. One machine handles internet connection sharing (ICS) for the rest of the house. It does e-mail, web...

    Windows ME doesn't turn computer off.

    Before you look for new drivers, power supplies or whole new computer, look in Sounds and see if you have a sound for 'Exit Windows'. If not, assign a sound. I've read that upon shutdown, all programs have to stop and tell Windows that they have stopped. Unfortunately, if Windows is too quick...

    running on low disk space

    From the Control Panel, open System, then Perfomance and write down how much Ram you have. Then click on Virtual Memory. On that screen you'll see a couple of statements: Let Windows manage the memory and Let me manage the memory (loosely translated:) Windows is probably managing the virtual...

    running on low disk space

    Is Windows managing your Virtual Memory? VM will suck up a lot of real estate unless you rein it in.
