readyboost

Okay, I'm stumped. When I go under "Uninstall a Program", most of my programs aren't even there. At all. It shows 25 of them, when I have much, much more. I can still use all of my programs (I'm pretty sure!), so what's up with THAT? Secondly, I can't use ReadyBoost on my flash drive anymore...

I'm having a problem with my RAM where it only says 2.50GB is use able, I can't released the rest of it, here's a picture: Link Removed I did readyboost with a USB Flashdrive to see if it would restore the rest of my RAM and it stayed the same, I disabled Superfetch and no luck. What's...

First - Merry Christmas to all! :) I have a Win 7 64bit notebook with 8GB of RAM already in place. I wanted to increase the RAM so that I could run a LOT of Win Srv 2008 R2 VMware (may do ESX within VMware workstation or may just go straight to VMware server 2.xx and work it like that) VMs at...

Hi, I just upgraded my girlfriend's Sony Vaio P series to Windows 7. The performance was a bit sluggish, so we decided to try out Readyboost. Because it's a Sony, I decided to use the Memory Stick slot for this (it isn't much use for anything else), so I got an 8GB Pro Duo HG which is I...

We all know that ReadyBoost in Vista was a major fail. The feature was much improved in Windows 7 but I still don't think it's all that it's shaped up to be. But there's an alternative. eBoostr is about the only other program available that does what ReadyBoost does. And it does it faster...

Hi Peoples I was wondering if someone here may have some advise on a particular problem that I am having. My readyboost cache is continually re-created everytime I reboot my laptop. Its on a 4GB SD Card and I dedicate the entire SD card to the readyboost cache. I noticed that there was...

I took months of convincing the most stubborn of XP users but I finally got my buddy to try Windows 7. He had it up and running for a few hours and he loved it until...his power went out. He couldn't boot up and windows 7 couldn't repair startup, he tried every option and they all failed. He's...

With regard to Win7 setup for an SSD. How to check the status of Superfetch/ReadyBoost/ Prefetch? I see in properties of my 2 SSDs under "policies" tab a setup for "Write -caching policy". Is this relevant?

I put Readyboost on my memory stick, didnt notice the slightest bit of difference, now i want to take it off, BUT When i went to Computer-Right Click-Properties There wasnt a readyboost option, when i look at the volume, it says 0Bytes free 0bytes available HELP PLEASE

I just learned about this. I used a 4gig Cruiser drive that supposedly allocated about 2500mb of memory to speed the system up. With 1gig of memory in the system dose that mean it should be working like it has 3.5gigs of memory? Any good or bad comments on this redyboost option?

I am running Windows 7 on a Dell mini 12. ( Intel atom processor 1.6ghz, 1gb RAM) I am have been toying around with Windows 7 RC build 7100 since it came out just a week after I got my mini and it allows me to use a 4GB SDHC for readyboost but using the Mini's defualt Win XP would not. But...

i purchased a verbatim 16 gig usb drive, that had readyboost signatures on the box. once i got it home, i tried to reformat it from the default fat32 file system, to ntfs. why it comes with fat32 on it is something i don't quite understand anyway, but that's beside the point... anyway, windows...

I've got my partitions all ready. Gonna reinstall Win 7 as a dual boot but I didn't like 7022, especially since they took ReadyBoost out of that build. So I'd like to know.... WHAT is the next scheduled released build? WHEN will it be around? (Bonus question: How far along is MS atm? They at...

Hi all, I really enjoyed readyboost feature on build 7000. I'm using 2GB of RAM and readyboost gave a good performance boost. I upgraded my system to build 7022, it's working a bit better but I cannot find readyboost on USB drive properties. I really like to have the performance boost...

For some reason, Windows7b ReadyBoost fails my 8GB Cruzer micro (SanDisk) that is rated for ReadyBoost. Yet, my 1GB Kingston SD card that is not rated for ReadyBoost passes the test. I would like to warn that using the SD card for ReadyBoost causes Windows to totaly freez up, a few min after...

Have both win7 beta 1 distros - 32 & 64. 3+ year old laptop. amd 64 2.2 gig, dual core. 2 gigs ram - machine maxes out at 2 :-( 4 gig readyboost flash stick - if that matters.... Will 64 be worth installing? With only 2 gigs ram max, will it be any better than using 32? Any...

anyone used this feature? any noticeable differences?

I am currently using Win7 Ultimate64; When I remove a CD or DVD from the drive, several minutes later I will receive the following dialog box (msnmsgr.exe), "there is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk in drive d." The only way I can remove it is by going into Task Manager (and ending...
