Solution: Try increasing the size of the swap file. For Win2000, click the Start button, Settings, Control Panel, and double-click System. On the System Properties dialog, click the Advanced Tab and then click Performance Options, and then click Virtual Memory. Click Let Me Specify My Own Virtual Memory Settings, and then set it to the maximum. For WinNT, click the Start button, Settings, Control Panel, System, and on the Performance tab click the Change button. Alter the memory to the maximum allowable, but make sure it is less than the size of your hard drive, which is listed in the Hard Disk list on the dialog.
If the swap file is corrupt, reboot your computer. This usually rectifies the problem. If the problem persists, the hard drive might have a bad sector. Run ScanDisk and enable the Thorough and Fix Any Errors options. If ScanDisk detects a problem and can’t fix it, you may have to replace your hard drive. |
