Problems

1st install
eBoostr only allowed me to add 1 device if I tried to add USB after setting up memory USB replaced memory.
Cache build only lasted a second for memory and on completion there were no files in cache content.
Speed test showed no difference in speed.
Control panel showed no hit ratios.
Uninstalled, Reinstalled

2nd Install
control panel reports eboostr service is not running.
eboostr service is not listed in administrative tools -> services.

Hope this helps, I would like to see how it runs on Windows 7.

I just blogged about your fantastic product, now its become even better... thank you for this idea for accessing and using the extra ram above the 3.25 gb limit! I had 6 gb installed but could only use 3.2 of it because I had to use a 32 bit OS..

I've installed beta 4. The promises are cool, but it's not working.
I can add Advanced Memory cache, I can enable see hidden memory, I can set hdd unit for cache and I can build the cache for it. But the advanced memory cache stays DEACTIVATED (with a red cross within its icon!). Considering that I am fully licence (but desktop edition the one without memory cache option!) is that the problem? I am missing something else? Can I upgrade my license (valid now till 2012 jan 1!) to add advanced memory cache option? Please! I am using 32 bit and I would really appreciate that option working. Licensed since the beginning of this program, don't leave me in the dark!

Like dragonhmr, I just installed the beta on my Lenovo Thinkpad T500 with 4Gb ram running Vista Business/32 with SP1.

When I install the beta, it sees the "hidden memory" but it won't let me activate it. I've rebooted.

I installed on my Acer Netbook running Windows7 Professional with a 4gb SD card and it's working great.

Actually, I you have valid licence from previous eBoostr version. And this licence does not allow memory cache (not Pro version). Then the behavior will be exactly as you described. Licence check is not added to new Control panel UI. While driver and service do full check.

Thanks Mikei. I have my V3 Laptop license on my netbook running Windows 7 Pro.

On my Thinkpad T500 with Vista I did not have any license installed. During the beta, wouldn't you want us to test all the functionality on all platforms?

If I went and bought a V3 Pro version and installed it on my Thinkpad, are you saying it would allow me to use the Hidden Memory feature using the V4 Beta?

I personally would prefer not to pay for the Pro version util I'm sure that feature ("use hidden memory") works on my system.

Does this make sense???

I think during beta time you should be able to test all functionality. Hope, we will post the solution a little later.

To chooky

First of all try to uninstall current version and verify that system has no files from eBoostr.
Look to
Program File\eBoostr
ProgramData\eBoostr
locations. If any files are there, delete them.

Do reboot!

Install beta 4

Do reboot!

Try operate with eBoostr.
If problem still exists, check in about dialog licence type.

The upgrade from current release version 3.0 of Ebooster to the beta was successfull on my computer.
Also the settings are still configured (application list, folders to exclude).
I have not checked my 4GB USB-stick before, but the current Ebooster cache-file uses the whole amount of available space on the drive.
But adding system memory to Ebooster what is possible, even if no "hidden system memory" is found, the systray icon of Ebooster starts "waving" from about 10:00 o'clock to 2:00 o'clock and back all the time. That problem was also present using system memory with Ebooster 3.0

I am also not able to start any application after adding system memory and the creation of the cache file has finished (I have 2GB DDR-Ram and configured Ebooster to use the suggested amount of 512MB, file location c:\). Trying to open a shortcut to run a program like Firefox or Outlook Express I get an error saying that the entry point was not found in <filename of a DLL). I did not write down the message because I thought it is listed in the Windows Event Viewer, but I cannot find any entry regarding this errors.

I am using an AthlonXP3200 on a PCChips M848ALU (V2.1) board (SiS748/963L-chipset) with WindowsXP-prof-SP3 and 2 GB DDR-Ram/400MHz.

But its great that Ebooster is still improving, especially using the whole amount of my 4GB USB-stick.

I don't know what happened to the first two installs but the third worked fine!

Here is my speed check.
---------------------------
eBoostr : Control Panel
---------------------------
Direct access speed: 238.539124 MB/s

Cache enabled access speed: 936.530457 MB/s

Ratio: 3.926108
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Things do seem to be snappier! Thanks!

-No programs in cache (ever)...

Notebook
1Gb Memory
Cache with 1546 Mb in USB

Messages after "verificar velocidade" - verify speed (?)
-1.#IND00 Mb/s

Speed Test (5 times with Outlock express and some windows opened)
37,84
61,61
0,61

-The pen should be introduced before boot? (I would prefer to make it after because of electric problems and virus...)
-Also: I really want to eject pen before shutdown (same reasons than above). Right button in drive is not as practical as the right buttons for "Add", "Remove" device/cache - this ones much less used than the other...

Suggestion: Add the button "Eject device" --> Choose device to disconnect.
