Starting/stopping the eBoostr Service does not cause any System Ram allocation or de-allocation that I can see in eg Process Explorer / Task Manager, even when I have 512Mb of it assigned to eBoostr. Weird. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/system-tray-icon#post-1075 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 03:11:47 +0000 jujdred 1075@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>What purpose would hiding the icon serve? Besides, in windows 7 it auto hides anyway if you want it to. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/system-tray-icon#post-1026 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 12:31:29 +0000 mradr 1026@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>I have to say no. You can all ready hide it in the systray under windows, so why have a boxs that does the samething?</p> <p>Plus you never know when you need to get into it for w/e reason to see if your usb/cache devices are working, so I say just leave it be on this suggestion. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/system-tray-icon#post-1023 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 10:21:07 +0000 carloblanco 1023@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Good suggestion ! </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/system-tray-icon#post-1022 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 10:05:33 +0000 Ribeiro 1022@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Suggestion: An option to hide systray icon. A kind of "install and forget it". </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/windows-7-ultimate-64-bit-no-eboostr-control-panel-in-system-tray#post-1017 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:07:04 +0000 Darwin 1017@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Just to provide some closure for this: it's a Firefox 3.5/3.6 issue and seems to be quite common. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/windows-7-ultimate-64-bit-no-eboostr-control-panel-in-system-tray#post-1012 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 09:55:54 +0000 mradr 1012@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Oh ok. Not sure if eboostr should tho. It would need a way to check when explorer.exe went down, but also know if the crash wasn't caused by it.</p> <p>Otherwise there be a infi loop of it crashing if eboostr does by some means crash it. So... I say just manul just restart eboostr if wn7 is not bring it back up for you.</p> <p>Or my 2 cents. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/windows-7-ultimate-64-bit-no-eboostr-control-panel-in-system-tray#post-1010 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 01:18:22 +0000 Darwin 1010@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Yes of course, you are correct. I wasn't clear enough, either in my intent in posting my previous note or in its content. Explorer.exe crashed and Win7 restarted it for me. Over the past couple of days, this has happened a number of times. My point in posting about it was to indicate that it is most likely the explorer.exe crashes that were causing the eBoostr Control Panel icon to be missing from the notification area. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/windows-7-ultimate-64-bit-no-eboostr-control-panel-in-system-tray#post-1008 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:50:21 +0000 mradr 1008@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>on recovery the eBoostr Control Panel icon is gone</p> <p>What do you mean? On recovery of your own hands or a full reboot? If by your own hands, then no it wont be in there. This is due to you forcing a restart of explorer and not a real restart (should notice a few programs and background services not running too). Otherwise, a reboot should bring everything back. Now the Outlook crashing explorer is another problem all together I would think. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/windows-7-ultimate-64-bit-no-eboostr-control-panel-in-system-tray#post-1007 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:45:40 +0000 Darwin 1007@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Just an update: explorer.exe just crashed (when I attempted to run Outlook 2007 as admin) and on recovery the eBoostr Control Panel icon is gone (though the process is still running). I can invoke it from the Start Menu and interact with it, but even using File-&gt;Minimize to Tray results in it "appearing" to be closed. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/windows-7-ultimate-64-bit-no-eboostr-control-panel-in-system-tray#post-1006 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:22:41 +0000 Darwin 1006@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Hi mradr,</p> <p>Thank you for your response. I *think* I've got this problem sorted out, but am monitoring the situation. A couple of days ago I uninstalled eBoostr, rebooted, reinstalled eBoostr, and rebooted my system. Since then, Control Panel seems to be working fine. A second reboot (after re installation) appears to have solved the problem I noted earlier: I can now use the close button from the application titlebar to minimize Control Panel to my system tray without any problems. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/windows-7-ultimate-64-bit-no-eboostr-control-panel-in-system-tray#post-1005 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 02:47:43 +0000 mradr 1005@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Darwin could it be your AV is stopping eboostr? You've seen to have problems with it in the past. Also, Chooky had this problem is the past too. It seems just reinstalling it over the old one will fixs the problem (cross fingures?). Make sure you reboot after the re-install. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/windows-7-ultimate-64-bit-no-eboostr-control-panel-in-system-tray#post-1004 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 00:11:39 +0000 Darwin 1004@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>OK - got my head out of my a... Er, got "proactive" and checked the event viewer. eBoostr control panel threw up an error because of a "Driver Exception in eBoostr Service". Later, it gave this error message:</p> <p>The program eBoostrCP.exe version 4.0.0.545 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed.

Now it's gone for good for this session - I have to start it from the start menu... </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/windows-7-ultimate-64-bit-no-eboostr-control-panel-in-system-tray#post-991 Mon, 18 Jan 2010 11:35:35 +0000 Darwin 991@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Well, due to an unrelated issue, I wound up uninstalling eBoostr and restarting my computer. I then reinstalled eBoostr and rebooted. On reboot, I have the Control Panel icon in the system tray but I cannot interact with it in any way. I manually ran the Control Panel from the Start Menu link and tried to configure caches at which point it crashed. I've started it again and so far all is well. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/windows-7-ultimate-64-bit-no-eboostr-control-panel-in-system-tray#post-987 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 14:13:35 +0000 Darwin 987@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Even selecting "minimize to tray" from the File menu doesn't place eBoostr Control Panel in my system tray. </p>
