How Rapid Resume stores
information
While you are working, the computer stores the
information you are working on in temporary memory.
When you turn off your computer, Rapid Resume will
take the information from temporary memory and store
it in a special file on your hard disk.
While Rapid Resume will bring back the information you
were working on before you turned off your computer, it
does not save that information to your files on the hard
disk (C:\). Even when you are using Rapid Resume, you
need to save the information you are working on.
Your computer comes with Rapid Resume enabled
(turned on). You can disable (turn off) Rapid Resume in
Rapid Resume Manager. For more technical information
about Rapid Resume, see the README.TXT file located
in the PS1TOOLS directory of your computer.
