1) Assuming that you're running Win98, I would suggest adding the following line in your system.ini under [386Enh]:

ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1

Look here for further explanation:

2) I'm not sure how much you're hitting the virtual memory file, but I would suggest making it a static size (fixed), not dynamic. Make the value of the virtual memory file the same for minimum & maximum.
