-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 What you need to do to disable it is to right click on My Computer, go to properties, choose the performance tab, click on the Virtual Memory Button on the bottom and disable it on the following screen. As far as performance goes, you can kiss what little bit you may have had goodbye. I had a Windows 95 machine with 128MB memory and a 100MB Swap file. I then bought another 128MB ram and figured I could remove the swap file. Makes sense... I now had 256MB of REAL memory, more than I had before with virtual memory. when I disabled virtual memory the machine came to it's knees. For some stupid reason Windows HAS TO HAVE A SWAP FILE!?!?!?! I don't know if this will work, but... you may want to specify a swap file of 0 bytes (that's zero!) and see if you can fake out windows. You may want to give it a shot. Good luck!! - ------------------------------------------------------------ David Burger david.burger@usa.net "I would much rather lose an argument to an opponent who proves me wrong, than win to one who proves himself incompetent." - Unknown - -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of DanSV@aol.com Sent: Saturday, December 04, 1999 10:22 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FIPS CRAYNESS AND WINDOWS MADNESS I can't seem to run fips. I tried, and It said to look for hidden files in the first cylinder. One mentioned in the documentation was the windows swapfile. There is no 386 enhanced part of the control panel in Windows 95! So HOW do I uininstall it? Can I just delete it? How will that affect Windows? - - Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.2 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com>; Comment: PGP Public key located at: http://www.deadbbs.com/pgp/ iQA/AwUBOEwb1RGKP5i7ErBtEQIH4ACgus1Et5wpmIhN9TS8PN7pRx4igAgAnA+m RqAX/L5gc8z0udIyRotYDqBc =84wM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
