It would be nice if there would be a setting ‘Minimize to systray on exit’ on the control center, so you could ‘close’ the window in the upper right corner with the red exit-button instead of using the menu.

…sometimes Adobe photoshop doesn’t start. it stays freezed on the starting screen. i have to stop it by the task manager and try again. i have other problems like this with other applications, but it’s not the same in a session. sometimes outlook goes wrong, sometimes is msn, sometimes is photoshop. some ideas?
It seems the low latency requirements of the ASIO plugin for Winamp (and the ASIO driver as well) clashes directly with Eboostr caching, adding sudden pauses to an mp3 while playing. These pauses last less than a second, but they are there. The standard DirectSound plugin works fine, though. Probably a true high speed device used in caching won’t have this kind of problem.

… outlook sometimes freezes itself on a new html email. It isn’t possible to delete or drag it into another folder. It can’t be readed too, and an error message appears into the email visualization box. I have to shut down outlook and start it again. then, the email results as dragged to the folder or deleted, like i did in the past freezed session. Some ideas?
I just did the boot process and allocation tests and i got some pretty disappointing results. For one, my ratio was 0.839. Direct Access was way better than using eBooster. I installed everything correctly and I am using a SanDisk 512MB flash usb drive and allocated 450MB of this drive for cache use. I am puzzled as to why this program would decrease my system performance.
Just thought i would get my 2 cents in there.

We are coming closely to the BETA 3 release. The new BETA version will have some changes in the user interface, as well as some changes in the core driver and speed measurements tools. So please submit your performance test results now, before installing BETA 3, cause most probably you will get another results.
Please use the following forms to submit your test results. The results you submitted in comments or using the feedback is hard to analyze.
I’ve been running eBoostr for about a week now. I’ve gotten speed readings anywhere from 1.7 to 3.7. The 3.7 was pretty surprising so I measured it again: 3.7. I’d like to know why the range varies so much. I’m pretty consistent in the programs and files that I use daily. But it seems to work as advertised. I perceive things as being faster and perception is everything. Hopefully, we’re not participating in someone’s psychology project.
Hello,
I just downloaded and installed eBoostr on both my PC and Laptop, and must say that I see a big performance boost.
I was wondering what would be better, SD or USB? I am currently using a USB memory stick, but are there people who have already tried this application with a SD card? If so, is there any difference?
