This article was previously published under Q82037 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 "[DRIVE]" and "[PATH]" 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.
