I still got the same crappy crash. So I guess my original work around will have to do, which was to limit my memory = 800megs using msconfig -> advanced. It wastes 200 megs, but at least it is stable. If you have any ideas/suggestions please contact me.

I tried it and it -almost- works for me and I was wondering if you could help. I get the ramdrive set up and it works fine, but my problem is that windows won't let me pick it as a an option in my virtual memory settings. Since I can't pick it, it won't write the swap file to the ramdrive. It only lets me pick my hard drives. The readme.txt for XMSDSK says that scandisk should test the memory, but it won't. It thinks the ram drive is a cd-rom drive and refuses to test it, which also makes me notice that I can't pick my cd/dvd rom drives either as my virtual swap drive. I see that you play WoW. Ironically, that is the program that I'm trying to get running. The website link above is the forum post that I'm working on to resolve the error 132. (If you read it, start at the bottom.) I run Win98se instead of WinMe, but I'm still hoping you have some ideas to get that swapfile onto the ram drive. Great idea for a workaround!
