Is there any way that AB could detect that it is, or may be, running out
of memory and post a warning or error message, rather than just stopping?
If a program just stops without any warning or message, it is very
confusing for us users. Sometimes we think it is some other program or
even a hardware issue, overheating cpu, bad ram bit, or hard drive error.

All "memory booster" programs are only source of problems because they

interfere with normal operation of windows.
The only way to increase free RAM is to STOP/disable from running
unnecessary programs / services,
NOT to add new ones that do consume even more memory.

Hi folks,
I join the opinion of Tomasz.
BTW, there could be a way to increase the RAM amount
This way is at http://www.eboostr.com/ <http://www.eboostr.com/>

memory problems.
