I have alos meet the similar problem. My system is a 286AT, and the harddisk is partitioned into 1M-bytes (driver C with system files) and 19M-bytes (driver D for applications, include MS-Window 2.03). No matter how I install the windows, it keep on swapping in logic driver C (and it is almost full before swapping). It often give "not enough memory" message, even though there is more than 3M-bytes in logic driver D and the MSDOS executive also claims so. Paul pshen@atrp.media.mit.edu
