Windows creates a prefetch directory that is used to speed up access of certain programs. The
drawback to prefetching is that XP will prefetch a program even if you use it only once or
twice. XP will retain a copy of a portion of it in the Prefetch folder. From there, it will
prefetch the program, taking resources from your workstation even though you may have no
intention of ever using the program again. If you have enough unused or little-used items
prefetching, over time your system and will actually run slower than if you never prefetched at
all. This is especially evident on systems with limited resources.
With Mass Mailer you are allowed to only have one copy per PC running and now you have two
because of the extra one created in your prefetch folder. Because of this Mass Mailer doesn't
know which one to use or register. Below is a small program that will clean out your Prefetch
Directory in Windows and over-all speed up your computer. We recommend that you also turn the
prefetch feature off with this small utility and will cause no damage to you PC. After you
install this small program and cleaned out your prefetch directory reboot your PC, start Mass
Mailer and then email us the new serial number.
You can solve the Mass Mailer registration issue by downloading this simple program that will clean out your prefetch directory and then turn
prefetching off.
