10 Troubleshooting
There are some instances in which Miray RAM Drive cannot work as expected;
in such cases an error message will be displayed. This section details the possible
errors and the steps you should take to resolve them.
10.1 Memory problems
10.1.1 Insufficient memory (at startup)
If you receive this message, there is insuffi-
cient memory available, even for a small RAM
drive (< 20 MB). Miray RAM Drive does not
start in this instance; not only because it could
run out of memory, but also because the
overall ability of the operating system could
be adversely affected.
Solution: The following options are available:
{
Quit one or more memory-intensive applications and restart Miray RAM Drive.
{
Expand your computer's memory, as a general measure.
10.1.2 Slider showing too little memory
In the 45 Program window the slider automatically shows the
currently available space for a RAM drive (45.1.1 Adjust the
capacity). Under certain circumstances, this maximum value
may be below the actually available memory, as is displayed in
the Windows task manager.
Explanation: There are two possible reasons for this:
{
Only actual (real) memory can be used for a RAM drive, that
is, no virtual memory such swap space, generated by the op-
erating system in form of swap files. Sometimes, such virtual
memory is displayed as RAM.
{
All of the available memory is partitioned into different areas,
depending on the operating system and the programs and
functions already running; these areas have different sizes
