Kalypso are you trying to recover to 75megs or are you trying to recover 75megs on top of what you already have? The amount you try to recover will depend on how much you have running in the background. If you try to recover memory that is needed to run essential parts of other programs then you can run into problems .. i did that at first, too. The trick is just trial and error on your computer depending on your normal usage .. you want to set the "recover if falls below this" number low enough that it does not interfere with the normal running of your software, yet high enough that there is still enough "ram time"(my own phrase ..lol) to recover RAM before Your system freezes or crashes... You also don't want to set the "try to recover to" number too high or it will, again, try to recover memory that is actually needed to run things you have in the background. i have 192megs of RAM and the numbers i use are 24 for automatic recovery and try to free an additional 64 megs. Considering the other things i have running at the time, this seems to work good for me and still leaves quite a bit left for the background, etc. i used to have to reboot my computer every three or four hours (if it did not freeze up on its own before then). Since i got RAMpage, i have left it on for close to two days without any problems and only shut it down because i wanted to shut it down, not because it needed to be. Others results may vary of course, depending on what all you do while it is running, but i normally have at least one software app open, OE open, and at least four or 5 browser windows open(usually much more because i surf a lot), and that is not even counting all my background/start up stuff that is running. Usually, though i do try to reboot once a day, if for no other reason to give my pc a little bit of a break or if i plan to be away from it for a long time and am not rendering anything. Having said all of that .. i also do the following. After everything has started up on my pc and before i actually do anything, i free the memory manually, to sort of get a fresh start. And, as on said she does, i also free the memory right before i attempt to render something. i keep the automatic on though so in case i forget about it while i am surfing or play in psp or something it will recover on its own. i think that about covers my experience with it, but if you would like to know anything else and i can help, let me know. odyssey
