JS>I seem to be having a problem all of a sudden and am looking for some elp. >I am using version 1.53 (DOS) of QModemPro, and have been for several years. >Now all of a sudden, when I try to swap out to DOS from within the rogram, >(Alt-R) or swap into OLX, the Offline Reader (Alt-M), I get an "Unable to >Swap to Disk" message. It worked fine up until about two weeks ago so I >don't know what is going on. I can force it work work if I exit the >program (Alt-x) and come back in. JS>I looked at the Help file and it says that it should work if you have your >Comspec=Command.com in the Autoexec.bat. I checked and the command is there >first thing so I am not sure what is going on. JS>Suggestions? JS>I could go the route of deleting the program from my hard disk and resetting >it up, but that is a long process. I have to go the whole way back to >version 1.0 and put in all the patches to get back to 1.53, over an hours >worth of work. JS>I just found another error too. I tried to enter this message from within >OLX after exiting and coming back in and it did not save it when I left he >MailReader. I am starting to think I need to just dump what I have on my >disk and reset up the program. I will hold off though for a few days ntil >I see if any of you have any suggestions. JS>... "Transporter chief , beam the landing party to the bridge" >-=- Blue Wave/DOS v2.30 [NR] JS>--- SLMAIL v4.5a (#0384) I use to get the same thing..... What that is saying is that you don't have enough hard drive space for the swap files..... You'll need to make more disk space or make a ram drive that will hold the swap files..... You'll have to go into the config for QMP and tell it what the dir is on the ram drive..... To make a dir on a ram drive just add md X:\qmpswap to the autoexec.bat file and it should work..... You need to allocate enough ram for the swap files though..... I'm not sure how big they are..... I hope this helps you.....
