Swap File Settings Change when Changing 32-Bit Disk Access

• Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

If you want to only change the 32-Bit Disk Access entry in the 386 Enhanced section of the Control Panel, it may be necessary to reset the settings for the swap file size and type.

MORE INFORMATION

When editing the virtual memory settings to change the 32-Bit Disk Access entry, the virtual memory settings may also change.

If you want to retain the previous settings, you must enter the virtual memory settings as well as change the setting for the 32-Bit Disk Access entry. Once all settings are changed, choose OK. Accept the changes and restart Windows when the selection appears.

WORKAROUND

To prevent the virtual memory settings from changing, you may also change the 32-Bit Disk Access setting from outside of the Control Panel.

To do this:

1. Edit the SYSTEM.INI file and add the following line to the [386ENH] section:

   32BitDiskAccess= (ON or OFF)




2. Restart Windows.
