Is it possible that I don't have enough RAM for Windows 7 if something like CleanMem is constantly clearing out RAM?
My Acer Laptop has the same 1.25 GB RAM.
It has Dual Boot XP Home and W7 Ultimate.
Boot into XP and it is ready before I have put boiling water on my morning coffee.
Boot into W7 and I have time to prepare and eat a 3 course breakfast before W7 is ready to obey me.
I now have W7 Ultimate on a desktop with 4 GB RAM and it is VERY much faster.

Wow! My PC goes from pressing the power button to ready to use in about 30 seconds! Windows 7 is the fastest booting OS I've ever used.

I agree. On both my computers, they boot up very, very fast, I'd say even less than 30 seconds.
Update.

You can get the new setup on the first post on that thread.
Added a new pro feature in the advanced monitor. Fixed a bug I found and changed some more GUI settings.

Upadted, glad to see ignore list still intact and minimontor seems to be working correctly on system boot. Thanks Pro buy next week
Yeah I am kinda proud how fine tuned the mini monitor is coming along thanks to my users giving feedback
I just put out another update 15 min ago. Besides a minor menu change I was able to fix the system tray icon.
On my Windows 7 I don't have the UAC enabled. So I never knew of this bug with my system tray icons. Normally when explorer.exe is restarted my tray icon code will recreate the icon. It looks for the TaskBarCreated flag from explorer.exe
Well when the UAC is on, processes not running as admin (explorer.exe) can not send messages to processes running as admin (mini_monitor.exe)
So when explorer would create the task bar my program never gets the message and so the icon disappears.
Well I did some digging and found a new API that allows my app to say that the message is allowed to come to it. Now the tray icon shows up after explorer.exe restarts with the UAC on
So I just updated my other 3 programs that use the same code and putting out updates today. :-)
So far looks like Monday is still on track to be the release date for CleanMem 2.0
Shane
CleanMem 2.0 is released :-)

If you have the release candidate just simply install the final release over your current. No need to uninstall :-)
I truly hope you like it.

Shane, I was using version 1.7 and it had that button on the MiniMonitor which would run CleanMem when you press it. The new version doesn't have it. Is it some setting I need to configure?
Thanks.
I removed the button so people could set the position of the text. Plus the button was ugly lol
There are 2 other ways to manually run cleanmem. You can just right click on the monitor now. Or you can even set the gloab hot key so it will run when you hit the keys you set
And of course the day I release cleanmem my host's entire LA complex goes down. They host over a million sites, all of them down. They better work fast or they are going to have a lot of ticked off people lol.
Shane
haha, agreed the button did look a bit off.
I used Task Scheduler to make it run every half an hour, is it possible to have a built-in option for that? I love this little program, really makes the PC lag free.
The task scheduler now is set to 15 min by default. The pro mini monitor though now gives you more options as well
Shane
Ah, I see it. It was 30 for me, had to change it to 15 minutes manually.
I am so glad I discovered this neat program; thanks Shane.
EDIT: You 'could' add an option for mild transparency to the MiniMonitor for a bit of the Aero feel.

You can set the level of transparency for the mini monitor :-)
And thanks Nergal :-)

Oh, I feel stupid now. Just saw all the settings.
I have it set to "Blend with desktop" I love it. Shared on Facebook :-)

Sure wish there were a one-click manual clean like there was in 1.70 (without a hotkey). I used that button a lot.
Perhaps I could put the button back, but have it hidden by default?
Then a user can decide to show it or not? It was a simple button that just called cleanmem. Wouldn't be hard to put back :-)
Shane
Or instead of the button you could double click on the monitor? I don't know, to many choices lol

Actully, that would work fine for me. I would prefer that over the current right-click option.
By the way, could you provide a real simple 1-2-3 list of just the "pro" features.
Here you go

I will go ahead and add the double click to the monitor. I don't want to put out a new version since I just released it last night. But I will update my setups with it here ina bit. I will get started on it now, should be easy to do :-)
