Gui problems

By cris | January 4th, 2009 |

the first picture is from a vista os runing eboostr cache with a allocated memory of 128mb. how to do this:

1. add system memory as a cache device

2. you will be prompted for uac confirmation

3. when asked to be a build the cache on the device press no

4. voila

running fine in xp and 2003

when enabling the cache device  the allocated size is fine without  any bug

second picture not much a bug ,maybe a translation problem: instead of restart change to start caching or when pressing stop cache  automatically change to start cache

Picture 1

Picture 2

All the machines are running inside virtualbox so is possible that eboostr has issues being inside a virtual machine

System memory’s eboostr.dat on non-system drive

By blueadmin7 | |

I was wondering if you can choose ‘eboostr.dat’ to be created on non-system partition(c:)

on System Memory cache device.

The reason I demand this is because I like to minimize the write access on my MLC-SSD drive to increase the life-span. If I can select ‘eboostr.dat’ to be created on other HDD just like ‘filestat.dat’ via ‘setting.ini’

 

If this is possible I think eboostr would be a great tool for SSD user. :)

Possible bug

By cris | January 3rd, 2009 |

In eboostr control panel when i hit the stop caching button  (shouldn’t eboostr still read from the cache but never refresh it ? ) and after i press the disable system memory button and then i decide that i want to remove the system memory from being a caching device it doesn’t let me. Possible bug or a security measure ?

Add cache device bug

By cris | |

Installed eboostr into a xp sp2 virtual machine with 191 mb memory. when going to the add cache device i select memory cache. The bar has only 2 option and it is not letting me to change the cache memory size . It has only 48 mb and 256 mb though the minimum cache requirement is 64 mb.

When i click the bar to select more than 48 mb of cache it automatically changes to 256 mb of cache without a second option.

App priority fail to cache

By cris | |

Installed a  application bsplayer. When building a new cache to apply my new priority of bsplayer it fails to cache. eboostr is the latest installed program and bsplayer had been used before. Here is a picture of what i’m talking about. Running XP sp3 with all the updates.

LE: the build cache now button need to be pressed several times for changes to take effect

App priority settings ignored – V3.0 b483

By EvilROo | |

It’s been 3 days since I installed the 483 version. I have selected a few applications to have a priority. Some of them are in my Program Files folder (C:\), some are on my secondary partition (D:\).

It appears that eBoostr cached only Windows system files (DLLs, fonts, etc.) and a few of (C:\) apps with priority – the rest has been ignored.

I switched back to version 471 to test it. This version caches every listed app imediately. No problem then.

Things I tried with no effect:

1. Total reinstall of eBoostr 483 (with restart of course)

2. Total re-cache (holding the ALT key when building cache)

3. Checked the Exclude list for forgotten entry: D:\

4. Cleared Priority list, cleared Exclude list

5. Disabled/Dealocated the System memory device – used only flash disk and vice versa

6. Several system restarts with applications starts (I tried to raise the access count)

None of those tricks worked.

I hope there is a simple solution of this problem. As I mentioned before: version 417 worked well.

My PC specs:

Notebook Acer Aspire 3020 – XPhSP3 – 2GB RAM

Using eBoostr RAM Device (512MB) and A-Data Flash pen 4GB

Multiple users are prompted as first-time users regardless of program use

By Michael Adams | |

On a Server 2003 system, if a second user launches the control panel for the first time, it asks them as though the program wasn’t used before. Canceling that prompt reveals the caches created by the first user.
