I used CCleaner to uninstal Version One both the actual program and then cleaned the registry (after backing up) prior to installing Version 2 and I had no problems with Version Two. I always restart after installing new software and this seems to work with Version Two very well.
Uninstaller asks you to leave feedback about “Panorama Composer.” Bug?
Hello,
I have found the problem in the cache problem.
I was tampering with a vital Windows System File, ntdll.dll, because I needed to get my program to work that I’m making. I realized later that I forgot a . in a line in the code, after numerous BSODs. Then after correcting the file, later on that day I randomly got a BSOD and then 3 hours later I got another BSOD. After analyzing the ntdll.dll file and finding no error, I remembered, “I have eBoostr running…” and then I removed the device and rebuilt cache. So far no problems!
I guess the problem was that it cached the bad ntdll.dll and never updated with the new one.
As a windows programmer, I can’t think of a way around this except I remember reading somewhere that windows has a value for the rarity of a file being changed. However, there should be a way in settings to automatically or manually check for updated cache files. Not to rebuild cache just check for updated versions of files.
I have Windows XP x64 Edition, program (Beta2 setup) installed flawlessly, i restarted.
Choosed the onboard “ASAP” Flash device on my ASUS M2N32-SLI Premium Vista Edition mainboard. Absoulutely no speed increase here, something ain’t workin’ right.
It says it allocated the 491MB disk for cache.
If i choose build cache, it says
“Building cache (0%)…”
then it suddenly disappears.
Also the speed test function Help menu/Check speed gives erroneus results.
Direct Acess Speed: -1.#IND00 MB/sec
Cache enabled Acess Speed: -1.#IND00 MB/sec
Ratio: -1.#IND00
Last windows startup time (boot and loading): 34.78 sec
Any ideas what to check?
If the program, eboostrCP.exe, does not start, I stopped it run auto starting, will caching still be enabled and working?? As far as I know it does but I’m just making sure.
Where can I download the Beta 2 version?
I do not see any download link.
working great so far on core 2 duo 2.4 ghz with 2 gig ram and thanks for invisiting me to be a beta tester i really notice the difference in speed i have a raptor x and it seems more faster now with this great program i only tested it on another drive though as i haven’t got a usb stick yet ill post back if i have more to add.
oh and by the way i found you on stumble :)
Used Microsoft Bootvis to optimize startup
Measured 76 second boot before installation of eBoostr Beta 2
Installed eBoostr Beta 2
Configured to set up a 2GB cache on USB flash drive
Measured 78 second boot after installation and configuration of eBoostr

I have seen some inconsistencies in the cache, for example, files that I haven’t used in a while. I have also seen an mp3 file (why would anyone want to add an mp3 file to the cache?), part of an image mounted in Daemon Tools, the last restore point I made, and the installer (not the program in my C drive) of WinRAR that I keep in my secondary drive. I fail to see how those files can benefit from the cache, if I use them only from time to time. I believe there should be a “purge cache” function to clean the cache from any useless cached file (like an mp3).
I installed program w/o any problems and setted up 2 USB devices (1GB and 256MB). Must say that the difference between now and past few days is quite big. Must congrats to dev team for good made program.
