Also, are you sure it is Sahdow Defender? If your computer shutsdown wrong, eboostr will pause it self on the next reboot. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/conflict-with-shadow-defender#post-1394 Mon, 30 May 2011 02:33:39 +0000 vhick 1394@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Sorry for bumping this but I have the same problem using eBoostr with Shadow Defender. Every time I restart my PC, eBoostr is in pause and I manually restart it always. Is there any solution to automatically start it in shadow mode after every reboot?</p> <p>Using eBoostr 4 and Windows 7 Pro 32x</p> <p>Thank you.. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/windows-7-and-eboostr-doesnt-work#post-1385 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 10:27:46 +0000 Vienna 1385@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Eboostr doesnt find the cache drives after rebooting the system anymore.

When you run the speed test, the hit ratio starts to climb. Surely this indicator is only meant to measure the proportion of cache to disk hits you're getting when you're actually using your computer for stuff not testing out eboostr? Just a thought ;) </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/lost-cache-when-used-with-ramdisk#post-1321 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 05:15:03 +0000 Art 1321@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Hi cuverin, I tested this configuration (eBoostr within the ramdrive) in my xp 32bit - QSoft ramdrive - and this problem did not appear here. But eBoostr was a little slower in the ramdrive than directly in memory (maybe is drivers war zone!! :). att art </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/lost-cache-when-used-with-ramdisk#post-1314 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:01:10 +0000 mradr 1314@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Under Control Panel-&gt; Admin Tools -&gt; Services look for eboostr service, change its auto to delay start up. This way eboostr will start later, letting your ram drive start frist before eboostr.

You write very clear and good English (I might not be in a position to say this....). I am glad to see this kind of logical comment provided by Japanese folks and proud of it. Nevertheless, personally, I do not like the word of "Ejection" because I believe it would not fit the circumstance today. The word of "Ejection" started in the time of "floppy diskette" back in the late of 1980. Though, it is still applicable to CD drive now. For me, it is regarded as one of the legacy word. For some reasons, however, the word is still being used against regardless of target device such as USB flash memory. Is it proper to use "Ejection" for RAM or USB flash memory, is what I think. Honesty speaking, I do not like the many words that Microsoft started to use, especially their translation into the Japanese. The most of them does not make sense ..... I think we (I mean you, flash100, and myself) could make a good friendship because I feel somewhat we are similar .....

However, these two functions are different.<br /> <img src="http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/2739/cpjpn.png"><br /> The operation of the matter that I pointed out is similar to the function of "Safely Remove Hardware" icon that exists in "Notification Area". Therefore, I proposed "取り外す". If other appropriate words suitable for the function exist, I will agree.<br /> <img src="http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8352/notification.png"><br /> It is a result that makes the language of the control panel English as for ("Eject" in English), and there is no ulterior motive.<br /> <img src="http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1953/cpeng.png"></p> <p>@Bunji94:</p> <blockquote><p><cite>Bunji94 <a href="http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/japanese-translation-wrongsmall-trouble#post-1230">wrote</a>:</cite><br /> I have a recommendation to the eBoostr developer team that there should be a removal confirmation pop-up.</p></blockquote> <p>I also have the same experience.

Today, I inadvertently did hit the "Removal" tab when I was checking the control panel to examine the point-out by “shigy21” . Wwhatever the word is, "removal", "detach", or "eject", it is extremely important to confirm the action of inactivation of the devise by some pop-up screen. Otherwise, it is easily taken off from the eBoostr, which is not apparently customer-friendly. Please think about it. [Bunji94 from Japan] </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/japanese-translation-wrongsmall-trouble#post-1228 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 05:06:21 +0000 flash1000 1228@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Well I am also a Japanese user.<br /> I have verified the Japanese menu text that shigy21 concerns, and I strongly agree with it.<br /> The right-click context menu of “Eject” (at the graphical device listing at the bottom of control panel) is enabled when the cache device is connected on USB port. By executing the “Eject” or “削除する(J)”, it “ejects” the selected USB device from the PC, which is the same function with the Windows’ USB task tray icon (Safely remove the hardware [ from PC]).<br /> This behavior is clearly different from the action of just removing the selected device from eBoostr cache device listing. Therefore, I assume that English menu says “Eject”, instead of “Remove”.<br /> Shigy21’s translation of “Eject” as “取り外す” is accurate, and worth to consider the correction. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/japanese-translation-wrongsmall-trouble#post-1227 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 04:21:59 +0000 Bunji94 1227@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>■I sustain “shigy21” regarding unfavorable translation of “Removal” into Japanese word. It will make more sense if the word of “Removal” is translated into Japanese as “デバイスの解除” which simply means “Detach device". As “shigy21” pointed out, the current translation of word indicated on the control panel is not of customer-friendly and may cause some misreading by new Japanese user.　■On the other hand, I have a different opinion against what “shigy21” expressed in English such as “("Eject" in English)”, since “Eject” appears to be unsuitable expression for the purpose. As a matter of fact, Ver 4 has been released in Japan since 19 Mar 2010. For that, translation correction to more favorable Japanese word would be made in a future minor version up, if any.

However, I remember I had to add /pae at the end of boot.ini for the main system. For example:</p> <p>[operating systems]<br /> multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /pae</p> <p>I originally had to add it to use SuperSpeed RamDisk, then I switched to eBoostr (for hidden mem) and it worked fine, then something removed the /pae option from boot.ini (I suspect a ShadowProtect restore, but couldn't replicate the problem so...). With /pae option gone, eBoostr stopped using the hidden memory, except I didn't notice it at first because it switched to using non-hidden memory. When I did notice, I tried to rebuild the cache using hidden memory, but eBoostr failed to do so until I added the /pae option to boot.ini. </p>
