How to help my Ready Boost system?

I have a usb, and it's 4 GB I was wondering if I can use to speed up my system since I have only 1 GB of ram? It would speed up my system or not? Please do help?

Your main problem is the low ram, 1 GB, if your system supports more ram then update your ram, using compatible memory

  • How to use memory and boost system performance by using 8 gb win7 Professional 64-bit

    Hello

    I m using HP430 (I have 3 Basic) laptop with win7 64 bit Professional installed.

    recently, I ve upgraded to 8 GB of ram, but I don't really see the system performance problem.

    Can anyone guide the optimal memory use and improve the performance of the system (file e.g.page, etc.)

    Thanks in advance,

    Prashant

    Hello.

    If, for example, your system was using 2 GB before you upgrade the memory, it will use more than 2 GB.  The only time where you would see that a performance gain would be if you had only 1 GB in the system and the system was attempting to use 2 GB.  If you had more that what you were using in the first place you will see no difference.  8 gb is a lot of memory for normal use.  At most I use about 3.5 GB and it is with some powerful applications running.

    See you soon.

  • How can I recover my original data files on my 8 GB USB Drive, I used to run Ready Boost.

    My laptop has Vista Home Premium.
    Using the option "speed up my system" when I logged on my 8 GB Transcend USB, I've probably activated Ready Boost.
    The USB was about 3.7 GB of data valuable personal (user - excel, word, jpg etc. files) also, but they are not visible or accessible more.
    However, the USB shows through properties, 3.70 GB of used space.
    Even after going to Option, properties of the removable disk, ReadyBoost, do not use this device, I'm not able to recover my original files.
    Help, please.

    You can try to recover the data with data recovery software. If this does not work, the only other option is to send the drive to a professional data, which is quite expensive recovery company. Only you can decide how your "valuable personal data" are interesting. And it's one of the reasons why we do not use USB thumb as succession only permanent drives.

    Data recovery software:

    R - Studio - http://www.r-tt.com/
    Recuva - http://www.piriform.com/recuva

    Professional data recovery - I use Drive Savers for my clients, but there are others. General prices run $500-$ 3 700 with an average of about $2,700. I understand that some insurance companies now cover the cost data recovery so check with your insurer.

  • What are Service Packs? Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free? If yes how? If I update it will help or hinder my system? Any pack is better than another?

    Windows Vista Service Pack (basic information)

    Hello

    I know this may seem a simple/stupid question, but I do not understand what are "Service Packs".  I don't know much about computers.

    I have restored my laptop to the factory setting today and I reinstall my programs again.  I am trying to install a new program as well (Autodesk Inventor 2012).  The installation says I can't because I need Service Pack 2 and I only have Microsoft Vista Home Premium (Version: 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001).

    What are Service Packs?  Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free?  If yes how?  If I update it will help or hinder my system?  Any pack is better than another?

    Thanks for the information and assistance that you can give.

    AstoriaBoro

    You can install Service Pack 2 very simply - go to Windows Update and check for new updates - then install all available updates.

    Once they are complete, return again (after a reboot) and do the same thing - repeat until there are no left.

    Along the way you will be installed Service pack 2 :)

  • How to use Ready Boost, and what are the requirements for the use of portable hard drives and flash drives for use with Ready Boost?

    I have Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate Edition and try to get Ready Boost to work on my PC using portable hard drives or flash drives. I have 2 portable hard drives (iomega 120gig, Seagate 250gig) and a 8gig sandisk cruzer flash drive. All this deterioration when you try to use the ready boost said that these discs only are not compatible or not supported. So what do I need?

    Not all readers will work with ReadyBoost. There are some readers who actually will specify that they are capable of ReadyBoost.

    By WikiPedia:

    • The device should have an access time of 1ms or less.
    • The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s for 4 KB random read speeds indicates the spread uniformly across the entire device and 1.75 MB/s write for 512 speed random writes spread uniformly across the device.

    You must also put the device and let it plugged in for ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost is therefore best suited for a small thumbdrive (up to 4 GB) that greater thumbdrive or external HD that you would probably be disconnect from time to time.

    Open solutions Explorer window, find your Cruzer - right-click on it and click Properties. If there is a ReadyBoost tab, you can set up - set it to dedicate this device to ReadyBoost. It will be implemented and save a file on the USB key. Click Apply and're you good to go.

    A caveat which I can testify first-hand. Apparently while booting, Win 7 has trouble with some USB key - it will search the thumbdrive, the operating system, the process of starting to stall and you say: ' Missing Operating System ' - Fortunately the solution is very easy. Shut down the computer, remove the USB key, restart the computer and it will start normally. I had this happen with a 8 GB Cruzer. This seems to be a random thing, because I had the Cruzer plugged in and booted several times without encountering the error of missing operating system message. No idea why or why it is injury. Currently, I use a Kodak USB 2 gig key that seems to work very well.

    original title: NVCACHE

    My D drive is full. Ready Boost NVCACHE is the only file on it. Clean disk does not help, and the system will not let me delete the file. How can I solve this problem

    Hello

    1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
    2. what exactly happens when you try to delete it?

    This is perhaps due to ReadyBoost enabled on drive D.

    Try to turn it off and check what is happening.

  • Flash drive, write protected after the use of Ready Boost

    I have a 8 GB USB flash drive, and I've been using ~ 4 GB for Ready Boost for quite a while now. When I tried to write something on the drive recently, I get a message saying that it is write protected. I tried to change the size of the cache, but has nothing - no error and no change. Tried turning off RB for the drive and nothing. There is no protection switch on the drive, so nothing to break. Tried to restart, refomratting the drive - no joy.

    Only, I could get a new drive because they are so cheap, but this one has a MicroSD in it like a separate disk drive, so I would keep

    Hello

    You can remove your usb flash drive write protection using the method below:
    a. open the start menu, in the search bar type regedit, and then press ENTER. This wil open the registry editor.
    b. navigate to the following location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
    Note:
    If StorageDevicePolicies registry key does not exist, you must create it manually.
    c. highlight StorageDevicePolicies, and then create a new DWORD called WriteProtect (32-bit).
    d. double-click the registration key in the right window, and then set it to a value of 0 in the value data box
    e. press OK
    Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    How much RAM does the computer have?

    Ready Boost is designed to help computers will be a small amount of RAM, so if your computer has already 3 GB of RAM or more, you don't notice much of a difference.

    Read what the above to understand the product and how to install, configure, troubleshoot and use it.  This will give you the background you need to solve the problem.

    Once done, then install Ready Boost and the USB key as if it were the first time (format the drive if you can unless you have data on it, you do not want to lose and don't want to take the time to move elsewhere to do the formatting, and then move it back once Ready Boost works again).
