Will RAMpage mess up scandisk or disk defragmenter?

0

RAMpage only accesses your hard drive when it is freeing memory. So, provided you have closed all your big memory-hogging applications, (and therefore there is no need for RAMpage to free memory), RAMpage will not interfere with scandisk or defrag. If RAMpage does start freeing memory while you have scandisk or defrag running, just right-click on the tray icon and select Exit – this won’t mess up defrag or scandisk, (though the disk access would slow them down). If you do notice that RAMpage is freeing memory while scandisk or defrag is running, and you have no other applications running, then you have some seriously memory-intensive background application running, (which you should try to get rid of), or you have RAMpage’s threshold for freeing memory set to high.
