In Windows, go to My Computer -> Control panel -> System -> Performance -> Virtual memory. Click “Let me specify my own virtual memory settings”. Enter identical settings in both boxes. I suggest 150 Mbytes. Click OK. Windows will tell you what you’ve done and complain and ask you if you are sure you wish to continue, click YES. Windows will then want to re-boot. Allow it to do so. After re-booting you can see the file in Windows Explorer as Win386.SWP. 22.
