CleanMem won't run
« on: February 14, 2010, 12:00:05 AM »
Hi.
I used cleanmem for the past 2 months and I think it's a must on every computer.
Few days ago I had to make a repair-install for my Win7 64bit system.

In order to be on the safe side, I've decided to uninstall cleanmem and reinstall it. Also, I use a widget to see my system memory consumption and this time I noticed that it's unusually high (over 30% usage).
I've opened the Task scheduler and I saw that cleanmem is not running every 30 minutes. In-fact, it's not running at all.

Please see image:

There should be a log on the window below when your in the task scheduler and click on cleanmem. Windows keeps in a log, does it show any errors to why it did run it?
Or just scroll the window over more to the last result column, what does it say?

Also make sure that the task scheduler service is running, that could also be why windows isnt running it.

Task Scheduler is running and set to automatic.
I've enabled the history for the tasks and I restarted the system and at least now I see that it ran the task at system start-up. Now all I have to see that it will run every 30 min.
Will notify you.

Thanks.

Hi Shane.
I had to create another trigger at logon and this started the process every 30 minutes. I then deleted that trigger and kept the default. And it didn't run every 30 min.
I had to delete that trigger and recreate it and now it's running every 30 minutes. I'll keep an eye out for the next days to see if it's running ok.

Thanks.
