Well, the rule of thumb for swapfile....or pagefile as it's called in NT/2000
is, amount of RAM plus 12 MB's. So if you have 256 MB RAM, your pagefile should
be 268 MB's. Personally, I would let windows handle the size and location. I'm
betting it was something you did that made the error happen so undo your changes
and see if that doesn't cure the problem
