Why does this Ramdisk lock up windows vista 64 bit so badly after I install it then try to use it?

I know its not vista and its the software because I never had this problem before. Wanted to use this software because it seems to be the easiest. Does anyone recommend any better ramdisk software that is just as easy and works on vista 64 bit?
 
Generally speaking in a VM-backed OS like WinNT (and all later iterations) a RAMdisk is the wrong way to go - more RAM, set aside for caching, is vastly more efficient. Why do you want to do this?
 
Yea, the time required to copy something to the ramdisk is equal to reading the entire file and get it into the filesystem cache in the first place so ramdisks are a lot less useful than they used to be. And you'll have the file in memory twice since it'll be on the ramdisk and in the filesystem cache if you go that route so it's even less efficient.
