Was pleased with the programs, actually I still am, but I went to upgrade CachemanXP to version 2.0 from version 1.8 - and the program said I had a bad serial number. Contacted Outertech twice now, and both times the same fellow that issued me my serial number turned around a accused me of stealing the serial number. Now I don't like being called a thief, and being told I stole anything. I submitted both emails showing purchase, and the online receipt, and and yet to get an apology or customer service. I did manage to get the serial number to take, and was the two-station license I purchased back in 2007 for $40. The program is good, the customer service on the other hand stink when they accuse their customer of theft when it was a legitimate purchase. So buyer beware when it comes to getting quality customer service. Used CachemanXP for two years, and bought Cacheman7 recently for Vista/Win7.

If you try and purchase Cacheman, you will never be sent your license key. It's a great program, but what's the point of buying if you can't unlock it? You've been warned. BUYER BEWARE.

Freed up another 500MB of RAM (only 600MB was free before out of 3.1GB recognised by windows). Good job guys (and gals). Just bought cacheman for my Win7 PC — it’s brilliant.

I begged Outertech to get the Beta version, to no avail. Have it running on my new notebook. Looks great so far. Finally! I begged Outertech to get the Beta version, to no avail.

This is no bug. It can all be configured on the options tab or by right clicking any of the Cacheman tray icons (a balloon tip is displayed on the first start that explains it). Since Cacheman Control did not start at all, it looks like some compatibility problem. We had ~1000 Beta Testers, but no beta test can prepare for 100% of all hardware/software combinations. The uninstall problem the user encountered is just because the uninstaller starts Cacheman Control to restore any changes Cacheman has made, and since Cacheman Control could not start on that system at all, there is another freeze. The proper way to handle this is to contact support@outertech.com with the hardware description and we will provide specific instructions how to create debug data files that help us solve any problems (which from past experience with CachemanXP we usually do within 48 hours). The official release is today in the evening, and by tomorrow we will have numbers of the problematic systems. I'm convinced it will be max 1 system in 1000. @ Michael

Was already thinking it's vaporware (was supposed to come out in 1997). I missed Cacheman a lot, but it didn't work with Vista x64. Playing around with it right now. Looks like a real step forward to the already great CachemanXP. The new memory management looks very interesting! I also like the redesign, it's more user friendly.

Cannot call up the program on screen. 2. only tracks 2 of my 4 cpus (Phenom II X4) in the task bar. 3. locked up the first time I tried to uninstall. It MAY be actually doing SOMETHING, but I have no way of telling or making adjustments, and when the uninstall blows up, I'm very suspicious. (It DID finally, I think, uninstall.) I usually trust the Lockergnome seal of approval, but not this time. Trust me, I DON'T want this! Still doesn’t look to be ready for prime time on my Windows Vista SP1.
