You didn't do anything wrong.

Nothing.  This is normal behavior of the W2K (and Windows NT) DOS 
emulator: it reports zero swap space, and the ``memory available'' figure 
is not the actual free physical memory.  What you should really care 
about (on any system) is the sum of the two numbers: it tells you how 
much memory your programs can allocate.  43,5MB is not too bad, and W2K 
will allocate more if you ask for it (so in the W2K case, the report is 
very inaccurate).
