Introduction If there is not enough memory available on a thin client, the system might become unstable. This happens if there are too many applications for the available RAM. HP recommends upgrading the RAM size. If that is not possible, the following are best practices to make more RAM available for use. Before you begin To follow these procedures, you must first disable HP Write Manager and log on as an administrator. Be sure to re-enable HP Write Manager after you are done making changes.

Additional methods If you have reduced the size of the BIOS video memory, the RAMDisk, and the HP Write Manager overlay, and still need more available memory, use the following procedures. Changing the TEMP and TMP environment variables When you make more RAM available, you can move the tempory usage, event logs, and such to the c:\hpwmtemp folder. When these files are moved, HP RAMDisk is not used anymore and can be disabled.
