Cannot Use Permanent Swap File with Squish

 * }

Q82037

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

-

SYMPTOMS
When you use the Squish disk-compression utility by Sundog Software, Microsoft Windows is unable to recognize a permanent swap file in 386 enhanced mode.

CAUSE
This problem is caused by an entry that Squish makes in the CONFIG.SYS file.

Squish compresses a portion of the hard disk in order to free up more space. Squish requires a line in the CONFIG.SYS file, similar to the following

  DEVICE=[DRIVE]:[PATH]\SQUISH\SQPLUS.SYS EMS=0 where &quot;[DRIVE]&quot; and &quot;[PATH]&quot; indicate the location of SQPLUS.SYS.

If Windows creates a permanent swap file, it can't locate the swap file during 386 enhanced mode operation. The Windows Setup program indicates that a temporary swap file is active.

RESOLUTION
Remove the SQPLUS.SYS device driver from the CONFIG.SYS file so that Windows can recognize the permanent swap file.
