    Why did you feel that you needed it in the first place?

    One basic setting to have is:

    Right click My Computer then click Properties then Advanced > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory > Change > choose System managed size > Set > OK > Apply > OK etc.

    In what way did it not work?

    Are you saying that you could not set that setting? What happened? Any error message?

    What is the current setting?

    I don't know what you mean by the current setting...I went right to the end exactly as told..
    I don't see any settings. It is still happenning... the memory booster comes up and starts
    fooling around and drives me crazy...I am afraid to remove it..as it seems I need it.
    If you coud explain the settings I would appreciate it...

    According to this thread ram optimizers don't work and can even make things worse.

    I am not sure why you think you need this program? Jaynee's link is a good read. XP can handle the memory quite well.

    On the Virtual Memory page there is either:

    Custom size:

    System managed size:

    No paging file:

    Below that there is the current setting:

    Currently allocated:

    Perhaps your program is overwriting these options.

    i would delete this program. You should have no need for it.
