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.....
