check the text format and make sure it looks like this: RAM: %i Mb
If it does, then I don't know what the problem is aside form you not having any RAM in your computer  But someone else most likely will.

That's how much I have, it is nice running that much.  That's weird that that doesn't work. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't. But you know someone else will and we will both learn something.
Oh ya, and your grammar is pretty good. You should see some of the crazy sentences that come up in the forums.

It shows your page file usage, if I remember correctly. Since you have 2GB of RAM, you might never have to use your page file, or use so little of it that it never shows.

That is true it shows swap file (virtual memory) usage I know some folks disable it completly feelling confident that they have planty of ram so if your virtual memory is set to zero it won`t show a thing.
Allthough I think that virtual memory shouldn`t be set to 0

With choosen skin Amonbg at Windows settings and Amon.png in other settings blue circle shows used RAM memory and number above shows used pagefile I think Blue circle shows approximately half of used RAM and number is still 0 but now, when I'm starting with using memory over 2gb,number is changing from 0 to number of used memory BUT MINUS size of RAM I think ALL approximately

By borrowing a skin from another theme or by creating your own.

Those of us that uses solid state drives (SSD), many recommend to turn the paging file off (virtual memory) if you have enough memory. There are usually three reasons for this:
1) SSD are usually small, usually 4GB to 16GB in size. And having a 4GB with Windows XP installed, a page file would eat up all available space if the Windows default was used.
2) SSD longevity is dependent on the number of writes. The number that usually gets thrown out there a lot is 100,000 writes. Thus reducing unnecessary writes improves longevity.
3) SSD still tend to be much slower at writing. So reducing writing will increase performance.
I have also playing around with MS EWF. This buffers all writes to the RAM instead of the SSD. Which you can either dump or write everything at once when you shut down. Thus overwrites are done in RAM and the final copy then can be saved when the session is over.
I have turned off paging and I did it to all of my computers just looking for any disadvantages. And I really haven't found any real disadvantages as long as you have enough RAM available.
