Then I stuck a 3MB swap file on. Since the swap file is a hidden system file as created, Norton SD DOES NOT attempt to move it - In other words, yes, it's safe to run SD on a drive with a swap file. Just check the options menu under unmovable files, I think, to see if the 386spart.par is there. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Randy Spangler | The less things change, the | | rspangle@jarthur.claremont.edu | more they remain the same | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
