I installed BETA3 with the “Enable autoupdate” option checked. AT this time no new version was available.
When a new version was available, I didn´t get the warning about a new version.
Only when I restarted the control panel, I got the message about the new version. Basicly the software was running since the installation, and I never logged of or restarted my system. It only checks for updates when the control panel is started?

When I tested Beta 3 I achieved a 2.4 Ratio without a C Drive Cache. With Beta 4 I decided to play with adding the C Drive cache on a drive faster than my flash card resulting in a .94 ratio. I uninstalled the C drive Cache and reloaded the 2 GB Attache flash drive resulting in a 1.8 ratio, which compared to Beta 3 is a fairly significant speed loss.
As has been my practice, I uninstalled eBoostr with each Beta and formated the flash drive for a fresh start, even cleaning the registry. Up to this point the results have continued to improve to the 2.4 level with Beta 3. I have been loading and unloading programs for most of the day, but the results have just gotten up to 1.8, is this version slowed by design or has there been some other significant change? I will continue to work with Beta 4 and report any postitive changes related to this beta under this heading.

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.

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?

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

*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,

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.

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’.

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.”.
