Even selecting "minimize to tray" from the File menu doesn't place eBoostr Control Panel in my system tray.

Beta VeteranWell, 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.

Beta VeteranJust to update - the control panel icon only stayed in my system tray until I accidentally closed the main dialog rather than minimizing to tray. Now it's gone for good for this session - I have to start it from the start menu...

Beta VeteranOK - 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:
The program eBoostrCP.exe version 4.0.0.545 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

MemberDarwin 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.

Beta VeteranHi mradr,
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.

Beta VeteranJust 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->Minimize to Tray results in it "appearing" to be closed.

Memberon recovery the eBoostr Control Panel icon is gone
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.

Beta VeteranYes 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.

MemberOh 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.
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.
Or my 2 cents.

Beta VeteranJust to provide some closure for this: it's a Firefox 3.5/3.6 issue and seems to be quite common.
