AutoOptimize Settings

This opens the configuration window for the module. Enable AutoOptimize

should be selected so that TuneUp Memory Optimizer runs automatically in the

background. If you do not wish to have your memory usage optimized

automatically, you can disable this function here.

Under Physical memory, you can specify the free memory level that triggers

automatic optimization. This can for example be set at 50 MB. Under Increase

free memory to, you can specify how much memory you want to free up.

Under Processor usage monitoring, you should select Monitor processor

usage so that the module knows how hard your computer is working. When

Windows Media Player or a game is currently using all of the computer's

resources, for example, TuneUp Memory Optimizer delays optimization

automatically so that the system is not slowed down unnecessarily. When Use

SmartOptimize is selected, TuneUp Memory Optimizer recognizes such

situations automatically and only frees up memory when you are not working.

If you find the default setting too conservative, you can select Use manual

settings to specify the desired processor load in percent up to which the module

can optimize your memory usage. The higher this limit, the more aggressively

TuneUp Memory Optimizer will optimize your system.

Click OK to activate your settings. If you wish to restore the module to the

recommended settings, click Recommended.

Manual Optimization

If you do not use AutoOptimize, or if you want to free up memory before you

start a program that requires a lot of memory, you can go to Manual

Optimization.

Under Clear manually, you can use the slider to specify how much memory

should be freed. Click Clear Now to free the specified amount of memory. The

module will then remove unneeded DLLs and other files from physical memory,

which may require a few seconds.

Under Clipboard, the module shows the current amount of memory occupied by

the data in your clipboard. Click Empty Clipboard to free up the memory used

by this data.
