Go to start-> run and type in MSCONFIG and click OK; click on Uncheck process config.sys & process Autoexec.bat & load startup group items; click on win.ini TAB, Click on the (+) next to windows and Uncheck the “run=” & “load=” Lines; click on startup TAB, CHECK scan registry & system tray (Note. if system has winmodem be sure to check that too); Click Apply then OK (reboot)
Go to start-> run and type in SYSTEM.INI and click OK; scroll down To the [386enh] category. at the Bottom of that category type this
MinSPs=12
next scroll down till you see the category [VCACHE]; type under it:
MinFileCache=(vcache size) – MaxFileCache=(vcache size) – ChunkSize=512 – <---space--->
click on file-> save then exit system.ini
Right-click My Computer-> properties and click on performance, click file system and change typical role of this machine from Desktop Computer to Network Server, click on apply-> OK, click virtual memory click on change both minimum and maximum from what they are to (swap size) click ok, say “Yes”, click close (reboot).

Memory table based on total system RAM
16 4096 32
32 8192 64
64 16384 128
96 24576 192
128 32768 256
256 65536 512
(calculate RAM/4=VCache; RAM*2=Swap)
Nogo there, you will most likely need to reload windows. (clean not dirty install)
