hi, i put this (conservativeSwapFileUsage=1) line in my system.ini file in the [386Enh]section, in thinking that it would not use the swap any more, but use main memory. ive just looked in system info and seen this "windows-managed swap file on C(12480MB free)" wich is the space left on my HD

spec
win98se
511sdram
athlon 1G

forgive me, im young. Jiggy

That is right, that line does not change how the swapfile is managed, or its size, it just requires Windows to use physical RAM first, if you want to see how much of that swapfile is being used, run sysmon and look under the add tab for Memory Manager and then swapfile size....
