eBoostr Speed Check fails when MS Word or Excel is used for the speed test on XP or Vista. On a Vista system Excel, Speed test the application but on closing the application, Vista gives you “Microsoft Excel for Windows has stopped working”.
On a XP system Word terminate swith Word error
AppName: winword.exe AppVer: 9.0.0.8974 ModName: vbe6.dll
ModVer: 6.5.10.24 Offset: 0014b665
The failure occurs with all MS Office 2000 applications.
All programs run normally when activated or shutdown by a computer user.
Speed test gives no errors with other applications such as Vista mail or Outlook Express or Office 2003

Beta 3.0-483
Windows server 2008 x64.
It appears that in the dialogue to add applications priorities, external drag and drop from the quicklaunch bar does not work.
(Although the window seems to indicate it is possible)
Drag and dropping directly applications, or shortcuts, from explorer windows or the desktop works however.

eBoostr Beta (build 483) doesn’t allow me to build caches on more than one partition on a SD card.
I purchased a Lexar 8GB PCI ExpressCard SD memory card to use as a dedicated cache device for eBoostr. In order to operate under FAT32 I partitioned it into two partitions of slightly under 4GB each, which I assigned drive letters F: and G: respectively. When I entered the Add Cache Device menu eBoostr recognized both F: and G: and allowed me to select either as a cache device. The cache installed properly. But when I tried to add a cache to the second partition, I couldn’t. No matter which of the two partitions I used as my first cache device, eBoostr no longer displayed the second partition in the list of available devices. Thus, I could build a cache on either F: or G:, but not on both.
Any way around this?

I am very late to the beta-test, but build 483 seems to be a ‘Release Candidate’ really.
System: Notebook
Pentium M 1,5 GHz, 512 MB Ram
Win XP Home SP3
Installation runs flawlessy, initialisation is very fast and speedtest is faster than light.
I have to say, that i’m using eBoostr 1.1 since some weeks and my license runs out in Jan 2009.
eBoostr 1.1 give me some speed increase but the speedtest runs over one and a half hour (i dont no why).
With eBoostr 3 beta, i become some extra speed (great work) and the speedtest took me only 2-3 minutes. (increase factor 2.4 with eBoostr)
I hope my Vista-Machine is back in the next days, so i can test eBooster 3 on Vista Home Premium, befor the beta-license expires.

Hi,
Using Build 782. Very happy with increases in speed and freeing up of computer resources. I wanted to make sure I could narrow down as best as I could that eBoostr appears responsible for these BSODs since installing Build 782.
Have Intel 2.13 Mhz DuoCore with 2 Gb on board RAM and 2 8Gb flash drive sticks dedicated to eBoostr.
Got two BLODs with ‘win32k.sys error on different days after installing Build 782. Did not relate that to eBoostr since I had had some previous video card problems that I had solved. Then yesterday got a BSOD with the following:
——————————
Stop: 0x0000008B (oxCoooooo5, 0x805551AEZ, 0x9cce0BA4, oxooooooo)
——————————
Web searches blamed bad RAM cards and suggested memory diagnostic test. I stalled, not wanting to have to replace a RAM card during holidays.
Then, last night got a BSOD with the following:
————————————
Stop: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, 0xBF80c061, 0x9EE00910, 0x0000000)
Win32k.sys address BF80c061 base at BF800000, Date Stamp 48ce513A
————————————
Okay, now with the above 2 BSOD messages appearing at the same time and web searches still focusing on RAM cards as the problem, I caved in. stability. I downloaded and used Microsoft’s Windows Memory Diagnostic and after 5 passes, no error in the RAM cards were found.
I can only suggest that something in eBoostr Build 782 is the cause.
Ideas? Suggestions?
Let me know what I might be missing.
Thanks.

1. After resuming from hibernate, I opened the control panel and was greeted with a gigantic window. Seeing as the window type has been set to Fixed Single (VB term), I was unable to resize it.
There should be a window size verifier on the restore event.
2. In the exclude list window, my entries are fairly long, and do not show up in it’s entirety.
There are no scrollbars and the window is not resizable. Recommendation to put in horizontal scrollbars, and also to make tooltips: When the cursor hovers over an entry, the tooltip appears with the full entry. This would be very useful for long paths.
3. When choosing exclude by mask in the Cache Viewer, it locates the first . in the path. This causes it to recognize my Username:
I:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.THEMACHINE\Application Data\….
It states by default:
.THEMACHINE\Application Data…
Recommendation: Iterate through all occurences of . until the last one to determine file type. Or search backwards.
That’s all I’ve noticed for now. Hope I’m not being too bothersome… :D

My Beta license expires January 1, 2009. Are license extensions on the way?

Can’t add memory as a cache device.
See this screen shot first. http://teels269.v3webhard.com/error.jpg
I selected ‘Add new cache device’ and it said there was 1613 MB free space available of 2046 MB total on System Memory.
Then I adjusted amount of space (512 MB) and clicked ‘OK’ .
After that…I got the Hard disk as a cache device!
To remove it, I had to set it to ‘Disable’ and clicked ‘Remove’ button and set it to ‘Enable’ again.
Just clicking of ‘Remove’ button was ineffective.
I had tried to add memory as a cache device by changing amount of space (256 MB) and it became to Hard disk device too.
What’s wrong?
To clean install, I removed cache devices of build 482 but a cache device of memory was not remover by ‘Remove’ button. (USB disk was removed properly)
Is it a reason of this bug? (of course I did all restart)

Recommended procedure for installing version 3 are following
(1) unstall version 2 (2) reboot (3) install version (4) reboot
However most users like me often skip (2) or (4)
I think skipping (2),(4) often makes problems such as “can not mount Ram as a Cache”
Thus, Ver 3 must detect any existence of Ver2 and intiate reboot process prior to installing ver 3.
