Yea, it took me a while to figure this out. If you go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VMM\ and create an
entry MapCache of value "00", Windows disables memory swapping of
processes. There is a KB article at
http://support.microsoft.com/support/windows/readme/98/w98mtsutiltxt.asp?LNG
=ENG&SA=ALLKB&FR=0#MAPC_OFF
Whether this works for you I cannot say, but I haven't crashed since I did
this about a week ago, and I have build 3 times since then.
