    Probably the same experience as Dave Creek, #40 (Windows 98SE) in the comments for the day it was offered.

    I uninstalled a previous GAOTD version, Elcor TweakRAM 5.8 Build 10.13, to install this newer one on my Windows ME system. This was a mistake, a step backwards! At least the previous version, which displayed the wrong memory and cpu usage among other issues, would run "politely".

    Upon launching this new version I got a never-ending series of identical windows titled "TweakRAM - application error":

    "Access violation at address 70042B14. Read of address 70042B14."

    They popped up about once a second, so I could not successfully click on the "close" button of the main application window to exit it. Eventually I had to terminate it (CTRL-ALT-DEL menu).

    The same thing happened even after restarting, then stripping the system down to the minimum number of processes before launching TweakRAM 6.2.

    I tried uninstalling it, rebooting, re-installing, but had the same result (again, on a minimally-loaded system, no anti-virus or other non-essentials running).

    I guess I can live without it...
