Boot to DOS and delete the swapfile, then go to windows, it will create a new one and set it to a fixed size. Defrag the hard disk. Go to reboot's website and download shopvac and use it. It is a wonderful utility.

Depending on your HW you may try overclocking a lil bit to see if it works.

Visit http://www.98lite.net if you are running win95 download and run IEradicator and reinstall IE from scratch if you chose to use it. If you are running 98 then upgrade to 98lite.

Good Luck
