I installed it on my Win '98SE sytem & took it it back off within a couple of hours. It kept on
locking up in the freeing process requiring Ctl-Alt-Del to close it. Also made my Firefox &
Thunderbird windows go funny with both open. I've gone back to RAMpage which has been hassle
free for years. BTW, I am running only 128MB RAM on a 400MHz.

Thanks for that. I too am running Win98SE with Firefox and Thunderbird
so I think I will give it the bum's rush.

Though I might reconsider if there were a flood of replies recommending
FreeRam ;-))

Programs like this do not 'free' ram, they just roll it out to the swap/page
file.
At some time it has to be rolled back in.
