Best guess #1: You’ve set the “Amount of memory to free” option to 32 and left the “Free RAM when memory drops to or below” option set at 0. RAMpage does not free memory automatically unless you set a threshold that triggers the program. For example, if you set “Amount of memory to free” to 20 and “Free RAM when memory drops to or below” to 10, then RAMpage will try to free 20M of RAM whenever free memory drops to, or below, 10M. Best guess #2: You’ve put a shortcut to RAMpage in the Startup folder without adding command line parameters. This will run RAMpage with its default values, so it won’t behave as you might expect. You do not need a Startup folder shortcut if you are using the configuration screen. Note: A threshold of 32M is way too high. I would recommend a threshold below 5M. Setting a high threshold just wastes memory. What’s all this “command line” stuff about? Early versions of RAMpage, (before 1.3), did not have a configuration screen, so command line parameters were req
