My W98 box is also often up for two weeks or more. After that
things get iffy. However I also know not to run various things,
including Windows Explorer, or I will experience a BSOD or 'This
program has done something bad...' much sooner. The 'various
things' include most Microsoft applications, or opening too many
windows, etc. Meanwhile the swapping file grows indefinitely for
no discernable reason.
