Just a small revision for Windows 98 SE devotees, setting the Swapfile at 50MB's fixed the 2 problems, however DirectX 9.0a (Redistributable) dxdiag test, reports incorrect "Swapfile size in use", I found a fixed 20MB win386.swp file does the trick...summary; Fix the Swapfile at 20MB's minimum/maximum, this allows; 1. Office 2000 animated "Assistant" to function. 2. DirectX 9.0a "Diagnostic" test will correctly report Swapfile in use size, (ZERO). 3. Allows "Standby" option availability and functionality.
