Installation, Upgrading, and Uninstallation Use Winzip to extract the executable file, FreeRAM XP Pro 1.30.exe, to any directory of your choosing. We recommend the Desktop, since you'll have easy access to the file in the future. Do not double-click on the file in Winzip to extract, as that will cause Winzip to unzip to a temporary directory, the file will be deleted after closing, and you will not be able to find it later on. After successfully unzipping to a directory of your choosing, just run the executable file (FreeRAM XP Pro 1.30.exe). Whenever you use FreeRAM XP Pro in the future, it will run from the executable file, so be sure to keep it in an easily-accessible location. To upgrade from a previous version, simply replace the old executable file with the new executable file, FreeRAM XP Pro 1.30.exe. Then run the new executable file. NOTE: You do NOT need to run the Uninstall option of the previous version prior to installing the new version. Doing so may cause your settings to revert to their defaults. If you wish to uninstall FreeRAM XP Pro 1.30, select the Uninstall option from the Information menu of the main program window. Afterwards, follow the dialog boxes and then delete the executable file. There are no other files, folders, registry entries, etc. to remove. 2. Usage There are two main ways to optimize RAM: by pressing Go, or by configuring FreeRAM XP Pro to operate automatically. You may, of course, use the two methods together. For more info, see the Usage Notes under the Information menu and visit the Settings program window. In addition, FreeRAM XP Pro can operate in two modes when freeing RAM: via AutoFree, in which FreeRAM XP Pro automatically balances speed and memory when optimizing, or you can manually specify exactly how much RAM you want to free up. FreeRAM XP Pro also features many more options, functions, and customizability. For more information, read the Usage Notes under the Information menu and explore the program Settings window. 3.
