maby smart to make and sell flash drives who are fast enough mine are’nt it slows my pc dramaticly.

Best performance boost ?

How many memory must i allocated which will offer me the best performance boost?

• ReadyBoost from WindowsVista:
  The recommended amount of memory to use for Windows ReadyBoost acceleration
  is one to three times the amount of random access memory (RAM) installed in
  your computer. For instance, if your computer has 512 megabytes (MB) of RAM
  and you plug in a 4 gigabyte (GB) USB flash drive,
  setting aside from 512 MB to 1.5 GB of that drive will offer the best performance boost.

beta 4

let’s see the improvements of this version. however i never got any BSOD with the previous one

anti-virus issues

hi, newcomer here, just started the beta testing, i did notice that command antivirus picks up the file as a virus, but that probably has to do with it having access to system files.  I don’t think this is a bug persay (more to do with the anti-virus than anything) but it can be a little annoying.  Has anyone else had this problem, and is there anything that can be done about it?

Beta 4

well i think this is related to eboostr since ive not had it before eboostr and now i have it i get the

net.exe – application error and other application errors come up from time to time

the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on Ok to terminate the application

and i also get the wscript.exe application error

allocated 1024mb cache

Slider Bug: When selecting size to use for cache.

*Non-Serious*

eBoostr Beta 4 Build 315

Description:

Plug in your flash drive, click “Add…” then you will see the maxium space you can use. It should be set at max, which is fine. If you move the slider to any position on the rail and then move it back to the highest, all the way to the right to use the maxium amount of space it displays it wrong. The space in MB shows up lower than what you can actually use.

For example, my drive says 3905MB available. If I move the slider to another value and then move it back to max, it shows up as 3904MB. Tested it with another drive, 973MB available, then moved it to another position, then moved it back and it showed up at 960MB max.

If you type the value you want in the box on the left, it will work fine and use the space. Looks like the slider/MB usage is not calibrated. I don’t know if we can blame this on eBoostR, but I’m thinking this is more of a Windows control issue.

Thanks,

Can’t Cache to the local drive

When I click “Add…” in the main window of the Control Panel, it gives me the option to cache files to my local drive. Is this supposed to happen? When I tried caching 256 MB of my hard drive it would not build the index, and it stopped without any explanation or error message of any kind.

System freezes on hibernation

My laptop (HP Pavilion dv6335, AMD Turion 1.6ghz, 1gb mem etc) locks up and freezes when I try to hibernate with eBoostr running. I have to ‘stop caching’, and then I can hibernate safely. Without stopping the caching, it freezes at the screen ‘Preparing hibernation’.

HP Pavilion dv6335, AMD Turion 1.6ghz, 1gb mem etc (DV6000 series)
Windows XP Pro SP2, all updates

eBoostr beta 3 with 1GB SD (Sandisk) in laptops own cardreader.

(latest) cardreader drivers

I’m about to try the BETA4, Ill post results later today. Comment/msg for more information, logs, dumps etc.

Update: Beta4 gives the same error.

When i pull the  SDcard out of the cardreader when its fozen, it wakes up, returns to the desktop and gives an error like “System could not be shut down/hibernated because of an error/conflict with your cardreader.”.

A few minor bugs

Ok I installed beta 4 here are a few bugs i found

1. when building catch % the hard disk/flash disk icon that flashes will say what it is supposed to when on . . . say a flash drive that is building catch. But when you click on say . . . a high speed hard disk, only the removable icon changes to a hard disk icon the building catch % still flashes and can get confusing + it causes a few graphics bugs in the eboostr window when the gfx card is a ati card that is overclocked at all. This is mostly an ease of use bug but the graphics bugs like things not showing up heated the gfx card to 102 degrees when it normally runs at 82 degrees overclocked doing nothing and 100 degrees overclocked gaming. And pretty much every person that I know overclocks their ati cards. I havent had a chance to try this on a nvidia card but im guessing it will probably will do the same.

2. A flash drive had 15 mb read speeds until after a s3 standby now even after restart and flash drive format it is stuck in usb 1.0 speeds

3. All catching storage devices don’t seem to get rid of old data and fill up with junk?

4. The transfer speeds do not always update even when drive plugged into a new hub/port

System slows down after running “check speed” in Beta 3

The system slows down considerably after “checking the speed” found in Help > Check Speed. All of memory is used up and my computer is slow to open any kind of window and even slower to close it, often rolling the window down slowly, an indication of low memory. By rolling the window down, I mean than closing a window makes the title bar and menus disappear and then slowly the rest of the window from top to bottom, appearing as if somebody is wiping the window off of the desktop. I’m not sure why this happens but during the test I noticed using a widget that the RAM was up to 99%. Maybe the speed check needs to be run at system start-up, like when you have to run chkdsk on a restart.
