Yep. A 110MB EMM386.SWP file would be about normal for Windows ME systems. The
second 0 length swap file indicates someone has "tweaked" the system virtual memory
settings at some point and set you a fixed length swap file. Not really a good idea
with Windows ME. It is best to let it manage it. This is set in the Control Panel,
System icon, Performance tab, Virtual Memory button.
Unless you have a very special reason (high performance games or network server)
usage, make sure the swapfile is set to "Let Windows manage...". It knows how to
do this a lot better than you do, and keeps its size dynamic. That setting should
also get rid of the second zero size swapfile.
If you want a fixed minimum, that is OK as long as it is large enough, but never
set a Maximum swap file size on Windows ME. That can cause you problems.
