I get a LOW DISK SPACE message at all times. Even after delating many files.
I found that the Virtual Memory was set to manual and it allowed for more
space than my hard drive has. I have tried to check the box to let Windows
manage my Virtual Memory but every time I reboot it goes back to manual. I
also can not adjust the size of the virtual memory.

Boot to Safe Mode, and manually adjust the setting to a small number - say
100MB
Boot to DOS, and delete the Swapfile (WIN386.SWP - usually in either C:\ or
C:\Windows)
reboot to Normal Mode, and try readjusting the setting to automatic from
there - Are you using Norton software???
