I updated, and now it can’t seem to read my flash drive. It says the drive is inactive. Pulling the drive out and putting it back in doesn’t make any difference. When I tried asking it to add new cache device, the only option it gave me was to use system memory. Also, it locked my mouse and I had to reboot to get it back. After reboot, eBoostr still not reading drive.
I tried the update “menu item” in 2.0 Build 407 and it said no updates?
Is the beta update not working, or isn’t 408 published yet?
New beta build #408 was just published. It contains additional fix in the driver code. Zero3K, hope this one will finally fix your BSOD :)
upon installing this new beta 2.0 version my xp system became extremely sluggish, taking a very long time to process requests, appears like the hard disk is being made to work overtime as I can hear it continually running and being accessed, I have since removed it and gone back to using the previous version 1.0 build 399 which for me continues to work like a charm
ASUS A4K Mobile Workstation, AMD Mobile-Athlon64 3200 MHz, 2 Gb RAM, Transcend JetFlash 4 Gb, Win XP Pro
I installed it upon my 1.1 beta-tester licensed release. Everything went right. Now the new 2.0 release is working very fine. The system seems to be a little faster. Now I’m working with the new RAM feature (350 Mb on 2 Gb) and the JetFlash (fully eBoostr dedicated). In the next days i’ll try to increase the eBoostr dedicated amount of RAM memory.
I got an error message at install time “unable to start service”, it continue and
finish the instalation ok. Restart Windows xp and configure cache. All Ok.
Sorry, my poor english.
in this version (2.0 beta build 406) i can’t see the usb-cache with the cache viewer.
(a blank empty window appared to me)
my usb key is a 2gb sony, used by eBoostr at 100% for a week now.
bye’z ;-)
The new build 407 is available for download. It contains a fix that caused Blue Screen error (thank you Zero3K), changes in the driver memory cache part (prevents occasional system lock ups during active memory usage), an updated application startup testing tool (it did not wait for the memory cache to be initialized) and several fixes in translations.
Not sure if this is related to eboostrBeta2 but I havn’t installed anything other than a couple of games in the last few days. For the last day or 2 my PC has just frozen dead, NO blue screen just mouse stops, the PC stops accessing the net and the hard drives stop accessing. Just thought I post here and see if anybody else has had this to help narrow down whats going on.
I’ve noticed considerable improvement on my system. On average software daily usage, the machine doesn’t have to access the hard drive quite as often! This is a great product. Please keep up the good work.
Only if windows cache is as smart and would take advantage of the available memory automatically, windows would be more efficient!
I’ve submitted one boot time, however, I did notice a very annoying thing: the application uses all available disk io at one time to update the cache, and if we happen to use memory, it slows down whatever you may be doing. A better implementation would cache the items gradual rather than have my hard drive spin like crazy as fast as possible. Use more cpu and less disk io at one time.
