CleanMem 1.5.1 not loading

I have downloaded and installed CleanMem 1.5.1 and find that there was no desktop shortcut installed. I opened C>Program Files>CleanMem and found the CleanMem.exe application, but when I try to execute the file, nothing happens. There isn't any suitable app. starter in Startup>Programs>CleanMem either.

Any suggestions?

 

Perhaps this will help explain it:

I've got it on both my computers and it works as advertised.

 

An alternative, I might suggest, that I use is:

FreeRAM XP Pro 1.52

No waiting 30 minutes for it to do its' thing. :cool
Double click on the numeric RAM figure, down by the clock, if you want an immediate RAM update, or just let it do its' thing according to your defaults.

I have used it for years and it is a must have on any PC I have, or work on.

Checking that RAM figure, by eyeball, immediately points out any RAM hoggers when compared to the RAM figure that you get used to seeing.

You don't wait 30 minutes for it to do its thing, it does its thing every 30 minutes automatically. If you need to free ram more frequently than that, your computer has issues.

I used to use Free Ram XP and it was pretty good in its day, but it hasn't been updated since 2006 and isn't recommended on anything newer than XP.

 

MG states suitable for Win All.

It depends on your default settings, re RAM clearing. Nothing to do, IMO, with computer issues for me and my laptop.

Author states Platforms: Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, 2003 Server, XP (NT4.x is unsupported)

I always go by what the author of the program recommends, MG has been known to be incorrect in the operating system listing from time to time. Not trying to get argumentative with you, just saying I feel CleanMem is better and is more-up-to-date. If FreeRam XP works for you, stick with it

 

Hi All

Many thanks for your composite replies.

On checking the Task Scheduler (a little different in WINXP than the examples shown in the posts), I found that CleanMem was running and that I could adjust the timing.

We'll see how things go.

Cheers

 

I have 1270MB.

Originally there was 512 (2x256), but i removed a 256 and replaced it with a 1024 and this sped up the laptop no-end. However, I'm always looking for the best performance possible (a mad athlete type).

Cheers
