Mounted RAM drive: 0bytes #20

Hello, I am a newbie. Great soft. Too bad that works only for some. Mounting works ok. Formatting impossible. In properties, there is 0b capacity (mounted RAM drive).

Windows 8.1 x64 (with VS 2015 installed). I have installed the latest drivers for Video Card. I have installed Imdisk and vcredist 2015 as requested, including CUDA toolkit. I also compiled the project in VS 2015. Still, the same effect: 0b capacity (mounted RAM drive).

I tried also with the command line all possible variants for video card name. Same effect.

Video Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Video Chipset Codename: GM206-300

Obs. In GpuRamDrive.h, I also switched the value for GPU_API to GPU_API_OPENCL (to be forced to take the value 2) . Same effect. Most important, and I think there could be the cause: I also switched the value for GPU_API to GPU_API_HOSTMEM (to be forced to take the value 0) . Same effect. And that is the RAM from my motherboard. It should be worked at least with the RAM from my motherboard (not that I needed this, since I can do this in Imdisk.exe by example). The idea is that not works to make a valid RAM drive, not even from my motherboard RAM (by forcing assigning the value 0 for GPU_API in GpuRamDrive.h). And that is strange.

The capacity of the mounted RAM drive is null (0 bytes) in any circumstances.

Latest news about and observations: Lately, I observed these:

The Video card have 4 gb ram. It also displays in system 4096 mb. Also, the video card is new.
