Released May 12, 2003 (5-12-2003)
Readme File for Installation, Usage, and Distribution

What's new in version 1.31:
   -Minor bug fixes and performance enhancements
   -Ability to donate by through the mail

1. Installation for new users

Use Winzip or another zip utility to extract the executable file,
FreeRAM XP Pro 1.31.exe, to a SPECIFIC and stable 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 (or the zip extractor you use) to extract, as that will
cause Winzip to unzip to a temporary directory; the file will be
deleted automatically by Windows or Winzip after closing; and
consequently you will not be able to find it again later on.

After successfully unzipping to a directory of your
choosing, just run the executable file (FreeRAM XP Pro 1.31.exe).
Whenever you use FreeRAM XP Pro in the future, it will run from
the executable file, so be sure to keep it in a stable and
easily-accessible location. Again, we recommend the Desktop.

Note that by installing and using our software, you agree to
the distribution guidelines in part 5 of this Readme and the
Legal Notices in part 6 of this readme.

2. Upgrading from a previous version

To upgrade, DO NOT unzip this file to your Windows Temp folder
(such as by clicking on the file in WinZip). Instead, specifically
EXTRACT this file to the previous version's location and DELETE
the old file, thus replacing the old file with the new one. 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.

Note that by installing and using our software, you agree to
the distribution guidelines in part 5 of this Readme and the
Legal Notices in part 6 of this readme.

3. Uninstalling

To UNINSTALL:
In the program window (not from the system tray), click on the
Information menu, which is third from the left under the title
bar (beginning with the File and Settings menus). Then click on
the Uninstall option. After the uninstall process ends, delete
the executable file (program file). Note: You may have to restart
before attempting to delete the program file.

To manually install (not recommended; for advanced users only),
first exit out of FreeRAM XP Pro, and then delete the program
file. Note: You may have to restart to delete the program file.
Next, open the Start Menu and click on Run. Type in regedit
and hit Enter. Delete the key at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\YourWare Solutions. Then navigate to the
key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and delete the value named FreeRAM XP to complete the uninstall process.

Please note: If you are having trouble finding the program file in
whatever case, try searching your hard drive for "FreeRAM" without
quotes.

4. 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.
