For Windows Vista
Windows Vista offers a so-called ReadyBoost
function (see www.microsoft.com for more
information). This function enables the use of a
fl ash memory (e.g. Hama FlashPen Piko Business)
as quick intermediate memory.
Connect your Hama FlashPen Piko Business to a
free USB 2.0 connection.
The installation is carried out automatically.
The following dialogue box appears after a
successful installation.
Please select the command
Speed up my system
.
When you have chosen the command
Speed up my
system
, the following property window appears.
Please select the command
Use this device
in the
tab ReadyBoost in order to activate the ReadyBoost
function.
With the sliding regulator you determine now how
much memory you want to use for the ReadyBoost
function.
The system reserves the selected capacity as
ReadyBoost.sfcache; the FlashPen can only be used
as mass storage medium again if ReadyBoost is
deactivated for the stick.
Select the command
Do not use this device
if you do
not want to use the ReadyBoost function. Your Hama
FlashPen Piko Business can now be used as mass
storage medium.
