system crash, MSN Messenger and Outlook Express failure

4.45 pm

I tried to install other cache on a 256 mb SD. It seems to be very very slow; the usb 2.0 is very much faster. I think the process is complete. By the SD seems to be so slow, i want to remove it. So i do. Something going wrong. Maybe the process was still running when i deleted the SD cache from the control panel? MSN Live messenger crash!

4.55 pm

MSN Live Messenger doesn’t run. I have to install it again. I restart the PC.

5.00 pm

Outlook express shuts down 2 or 3 seconds after the program starts. I’ve run the Outlook again, and again it crashed. eBoostr doesn’t start itself. There is no way to start eBoostr. I uninstall it and i install it again. I restart the PC as required.
eBoostr create the cache again. Everything seems to be ok.

I start Outlook. Outlook crashes down. Then the system crashed itself. For a while i saw a blue screen, reporting a memory problem. Now the system restarted, but the avast antivirus is disabled, and i can’t enable it. Outlook runs. There are no other troubles, at the time.

I try to restart again the WinXP.

5.10 pm

I restarted the WinXp. After the starting usual black WinXP screen, nothing happens. I restart the PC 3 times by the On/Off button. Then, I had the dos WinXP emergency start menu. I’ve choosen the last working saved configuration. The system has been taken to the pre-eboostr configuration that i saved yesterday. Now the system runs, outlook runs and everything seems to be ok. I’m very disappointed. I had the cache size set to 3 gb. Some ideas? What do i have to do now?

Install on SD card and/or USB

Hi,

Just installed and seems to be working fine. Can’t say wheter or not it improves speed but building using a USB stick (256MB) worked fine.

 I also have a kingston 512 SD card on spare and now trying to build the cache as we speek. Building on SD seems to go much slower than on USB (more than twice as slow :) for the bright with us).

 So far so good though,

New install ( ok)

Install this day beta 2. Everything ok.

BEFORE I rebooted my machine ( as demanded) I tried to run the Speed measure tool first. That one responded with errors.

>>> Suggestion: you can check or there is a reboot performed and if NOT you could give a proper error screen. ( This where BETA are for :)I noticed a significant speedup in using internet. I Use Website-watcher with 100 site to check every now and then. It performed much quicker. Download site, check the content, mark changes etc.Startup of XP Prof. was the same on my PC xw6400 HP (8 processor kernels)).>>> I suggest making the performance indicators on the control centre more informative.  Show in colors of figure the highest in de last xx time, or YYY   cache hits or something like that. Now we only see a few green dots, to me very low informational.  Make your success visibleStill happy

No download link

Where to download the Beta 2?

I do not see any download link.

beta2 tests

here is my first test made with a sandisk cruzer micro 256mb

test

i noticed a decrease of performance with this beta, also a very long time to boot and load windows (slow pen drive?). i’m doing another test with a sd sandisk ultra II.

Cache sizing

ASUS A4K, mobile workstation: athlon Xp 3200+, hd IDE 80 gb, 2 gb ram kingston, usb 2.0, pendrive 4 gb transcend jfv30 usb 2.0, WinXP professional, Firefox internet browser

I Have a question. I can see on the control panel a “total file size in cache” bar. I think it’s a “fuel bar”. Is it right?

What if this bar is full? Maybe i need more cache?

So i increased my cache size from 1 to 2 Gb. Then, i used 3/4 of 2 Gb. Now i have a cache of 3 Gb. It’s full!!! Can i take it to 4 Gb (the pendrive capacity)? Have i to buy an 8 Gb pen????

Are two 4 Gb pen better than one 8 Gb single pen? Is it the same? With two pens, i can take one for its normal use…

I could take one 4 gb pen to eBoostr, and the other one half reserved for eBoostr, then the remaining space to my move-data use.

… installation: OK

…caching: OK

…running: OK

i have some questions: can i change the cache size of an installed cache device? Have i to delete the old cache device in the control panel, and then install a new and larger cache device?

how can i benchmark the eBoostr?

what if i forget connecting my usb pen when starting the Windows?

What if i set on the same usb pen the WinXP swap file?

What is an “eBoostr pen” ready? Is my pendrive ‘ready’ for eBoostr? :-)

at last: the suggested cache size is set by default to 256 mb. I’ve set it to 2048 mb (my ram size). How can i calculate the size of the cache? Does a method exist for a correct cache sizing?

running notes:

the second time i run an application or i open a folder, it runs very very faster then the first time.

Faster on the Internet, Great.

Installed the beta2 on a Acer Travel-mate 4100 notebook white a 2 GB Kingston stick and it’s working great.
