Virtual memory involves Windows "paging" information to and from a disk-base swap file. Is it possible that you are very short of free disk space? If you do Start, Settings, Control Panel, System, Performance tab, do you have Windows managing the virtual memory or has a fixed-size disk file been used?

MS OSs "swap" file: total breach of computer security.

Windows Virtual Memory
The virtual memory includes the paging file. Only 768MB is real memory. Duh! Of course I know that...the point is that, at its peak of RAM consumption, it's managing 8.75% of the total available virtual memory...only 22% of actual RAM...I'm not making a point about swapping here, I'm making a wider point about how

upgrading memory tips
*If the Paging File becomes fragmented, performance can degrade severely due to increased disk input and output times.* When Windows 2000 starts up, disk space is allocated to the MFT and the Paging File for their exclusive use. It’s important to know that the APIs that enable safe defragmentation do not support

URGENT HELP NEEDED:Paging file will not change
Even if it is 512 MB or larger the paging/swap file can come into play if Windows is automatically managing the paging file size. Some Windows experts recommend setting a minimum size of 1/2 RAM and a max size not greater than 2 x RAM. The intent is to reduce fragmentation of the paging/swap file and prod Windows

A poll: My local builder says that tinkering with the size of the paging file is not good. He says that XP is far better at managing the size than the user. Yes - a huge space means lots of 'room to play', but it also makes Windows "lazy" because it tends to spread stuff out so much...thereby increasing seek

virtual memory
A paging file will be unmovable while the system is running, it can be increased and possibly decreased but it can't be moved around. That is part of the reasoning, which I think to be correct that I used when giving it it's own partition. I wouldn't put much faith in Win98 managing things when it is about to fail

Managing Virtual memory
According to MS, it is always best to have Win98 automatically control the size of the paging file (virtual memory).

I tell Windows to manage virtual memory

Virtual Memory
Q: If I dual-boot Windows NT and Windows 98, can I use the same swap space to minimize the amount of disk space used? A: To accomplish this setup, you need to configure NT's pagefile.sys and the paging file in Win98. The following steps walk you through the NT and Win98 configuration: Boot into NT.
