First steps

If you launch Cacheman for the first time, you will see the Overview page of the Info section. The lowest and highest values are recorded only while Cacheman is running, so at this time they will not differ much from the current usage. Disk Cache and 16Bit resources information is available on Windows 95,98 and ME systems only.

You can switch between the 9 different Cacheman pages using the navigation bar located to the right of the Cacheman window.

Most pages have Help
or Wizard buttons. Use them to learn more about Cacheman's functionality and change settings to fine-tune your system's performance.

If you do not have the time or knowledge to manipulate the settings you can of course try one of the predefined profiles. As registered user you can also ask support for performance related help.

Most settings require a system reboot for the changes to take effect. Cacheman saves your original system settings on first startup in a Profile named "Initial Settings". You can safely revert back to your original settings by loading this profile.


By default, Cacheman starts automatically with Windows and minimizes itself to the System tray. Double-click the icon in the tray to view the main window. You can disable the automatic launch feature by deselecting Load Cacheman on Windows startup
in the Options section, if you do not need Cacheman's monitoring or Memory Recovery abilities.
