build487 service is not running

I’ve been trying build build 486\487 on my Vista64 Home premium (partially vlited) , upgrading from builf 484.

Some how the eBoostr service refuse to start. Try to start manual via service but with no success.

I’m wondering if anyone experiencing similar symptom. In evenviewer I get:

“System Exception -529697949 in eBoostr Service.” – EventID 6

Does eboostr require specific service to be running in vista?

With build484, it was working rather seamlessly and it started to happen when I tried 486 and also with 487.

Any idea would be appreciated.

Cache Question

I have noticed with past cache and this one being no exception, that at least on my system it caches items not even important. Or it will build on an entire item (program). With these items I need to put them in the exclude list and rebuild cache again. Examples of entire programs would be, Avast anti virus, ebooster, disk cleaner, windows media player, mcaffee site advisor, windows defender,windows fonts, and so on. And I guess what is really surprising is the fact that when you look at the cache for application priority there really is nothing there for the programs that I have listed. I guess my question is why ebooster does not load more window system files and the files that are listed in application priority?

Version 487

Good news – the tray icon now works for my EeePC 701 on Win XP SP3. On all previous versions it was mysteriously non functional.

In addition to the 512mb cache on the internal card reader’s Kingston 8GB SDHC (read speed 16-19mb/s) I’ve purchased a Sandisk Cruzer Micro U3 drive that is advertised as Vista ReadyBoost optimised, with a read speed of 25mb/s. Eboostr’s control panel reports the speeds quite faithfully with the U3 delivering no less than 23mb/s at any time. With 2 usb devices (and the faster U3 flash drive) I noticed a considerable decrease in boot time and XP startup programs processing.

Startup from zero-power to XP functional was in the region of 2 minutes before (thanks to having 2 antivirus programs), and now its just over a minute.

Exclude files bigger then …Mb.

One thing that really need to be added.

The most acceleration is achieved on small files, so it doesn’t really need to cache big files.  I think it must be an exclude rule: “Exclude files bigger then”

Sorry for my English. My native is Ukrainian.

new files being created after upgrade to 486(7)

See post:  http://www.eboostr.com/closedbeta/feedback/new-files-being-created-after-upgrade-to-486/

The files are still being created and sometimes not deleted (there are always between  3 and 12 of the etilq……. files present).

I also noticed that the badlnk.dat file content is not changing anymore since build 486. In previous versions it was changing together with the filestat.dat file.

is this correct/related?

xp freezes during start

build-484: sometimes pc freeze starting xp but after a reset it works.

In list exclusion I added .sms and .num files (listed viewing cache file) but they are always present in cache file!

I’ll try build 486…

Suggestions for future release

Hello,

1/ Allow compressed drives/folders and files

2/ Allow the user to create the eboost.dat file so that we can defrag that file and allow file placement.

Thanks in advance

486 Caches Recycler Contents

In 484, the caching algorithm got the majority of the necessary programs. Overall cache hits had 12 bars after a bit of exclusion tweaking.

Side note: On my XP laptop, hovering the progress bar gives me percents. On my 2000 desktop, it doesn’t.

In 486, it has begun caching deleted files in the RECYCLER folder:
I:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1343024091-1682526488-854245398-500\DESKTOP.INI
ignoring my exclude rule: I:\RECYCLED\

Overall cache hit is was 6 bars at install, 7 bars after excluding things.

Recommend the addition of default exclusions such as RECYCLER on each partition, %localsettings%\Temp, and Temporary Internet Files.
