PB running in RAM DISK

[eriksradio]

I am not complaining although it would be nice to have

My PB programs will not work in a RAMDISK.
They seem to get caught up in an endless loop.

Is this just me or have others the same experience.

How are you setting up the RAM disk?

What ram disk are you using? I'm running one on Windows 2000 and
my PureBasic apps run just fine in it. Sorry that I can't remember the
name of it at the moment, I'll check later on my other PC.

I am using "QSOFT" RAM DISK set as drive "B" and 224M and winXP
It is fairly large as my program needs a huge workspace.

I would say it is my setup, otherwise many would have the same experience.

I will try a few things.

It may also be the way I have written the programs.

eriksradio, just a thought, how much actual RAM do you have? Have you checked how much is free?

I've just checked and I'm using the freeware AR Soft RamDisk:

Mine is set as drive Z with 100 MB capacity. I guess your app might
be the problem. Maybe post some code that we can test with our own
ram disks?

Thanks for the ideas.
I have 512 RAM. Only my PB program has trouble with the RAMDISK.

I tried the other RAM disk, it seemed to install OK but never showed
itself in the filemanager. I tried many times. Sometimes these RAM disks
can be a bit touchy.

The program is too large to post here and needs all the include files for
the source to work. The exe file is about 360K, so try it and see if it
will at least boot completely. I will send it personally. Thanks.
