SUMMARY

When you install Stacker by STAC Electronics, any empty directories on your hard drive are not recreated on the new Stacker partition. If empty, the TEMP directory is not created and Microsoft Windows will have memory and printing problems.


MORE INFORMATION

Stacker uses a memory resident compression algorithm to expand and compress data in a real time manner. During the installation of Stacker, existing data is compressed as needed and moved to free hard drive space. This newly compressed data is only usable when the Stacker driver is loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file.
