Your swap file is probably fragmented. If you don't have a third-party defragmenter that will defragment the swapfile (Windows 2000 defragmenter won't) then set your swapfile down extremely small. Defragment your hard drive, then reset the swapfile.
OP
do u know any good 3rd party defragmenter ?
With 128 MB ram, you should set your page file to min AND max of 192MB or 200 if it makes you feel any better
Get a trial version of diskeeper and let it do a pagefile defrag after you set it, this may help

Diskeeper or Norton Utilities will both defragment your swap file.

SysInternals has a free utility called PageDefrag which will defrag the pagefile ("swap" file) and the registry hives at boot time.

O&O Defrag (shareware version) will also defrag the MFT and meta-data.

OP
hmmmm i defraged hole HD with O&O but when i reboot, check disk runs and tries to defrag the pagefile since it has 9 fragments
but then it says: Nothing to do and starts windows without even touching the pagefile
i tried that other prog too but i guess it O&O overwrites the registry with its own....
hmmm is the pagefile suppose to be 9 frags ?
