Troubleshooting

If you have problems when you restart your Macintosh after installing Connectix Ram Doubler, do the following:

• Keep Ram Doubler from loading by holding down the ~ (tilde) key or the ESC key while restarting your Macintosh.
• If this doesn't work, you can hold down the SHIFT key when you start your Macintosh to prevent all of your Inits and Control Panels from loading.

Incompatibility with Virtual Memory Manager

Connectix Ram Doubler is not compatible with the Virtual Memory Manager provided with your Macintosh, because both utilities require access to certain hardware. In order to run the Connectix Ram Doubler utility, you need to turn off virtual memory from the Memory control panel. If you have performance problems after installing Connectix Ram Doubler, you may want to remove the utility and return to using virtual memory.
