Your swap file is probably fragmented. If you don't have a third-party defragmenter that will defragment the swapfile (Windows 2000 defragmenter won't) then set your swapfile down extremely small. Defragment your hard drive, then reset the swapfile.

With 128 MB ram, you should set your page file to min AND max of 192MB or 200 if it makes you feel any better
 
Get a trial version of diskeeper and let it do a pagefile defrag after you set it, this may help

Diskeeper or Norton Utilities will both defragment your swap file.

hmmmm i defraged hole HD with O&O but when i reboot, check disk runs and tries to defrag the pagefile since it has 9 fragments
but then it says: Nothing to do and starts windows without even touching the pagefile
i tried that other prog too but i guess it O&O overwrites the registry with its own....
hmmm is the pagefile suppose to be 9 frags ?
