My windows ME swap is -1543894

[Fumiup]

Is this good?
I recently installed Nortons' System Works and used the Optimization Wizard and it set my swap file to minimum size -1543894, yes that's a negative. Max is not set

Fumiup,
Presently running Win98SE with 128Ram and have set my own swamp file to 300 amx. and min. as many experts have suggested.(2-21/2time Rams)
After running NSW with this setting the responce that come back stated that the swamp file is optimum for the system.
Therefore I would question the setting that has been setup by NSW.Try running NSW a few time to see if it comes back with the same setting?
Hang in there and see what other have to say.

Most Norton programs are junk. I install Norton Utilities 2001 and after running Disk Doctor and Registry Optimizer, I wasn't able to boot up my system I would uninstall Norton and set the swap file manually.

Yeah, I hate nortons ... they take up too many resources

Windows just plain sucks with memory management. It will start hitting the swap file before you even run out of RAM. I personally leave the swap file settings alone, but add the following in my stsyem.ini file...under the [386Enh] heading

ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1

This tells windows not to use the swap file unitl it uses up all of the physical RAM first. You will find that windows runs much better this way.
