FancyCache Beta issues on Win7Ultimate x64 with RamDisk

Post by ineedh3lp »

Hello.

I have VSuite Ramdisk Server Edition running on my PC with a 1GB RAM DISK active and it's working great for more than a week.

Today I installed Download FancyCache For Volumes (beta version 0.2.1.1),
restarted the PC as requested,
activated FancyCache on my System Partition (C) with the default settings (and 1 GB of RAM allocated),
computer started moving slow then it hanged,
forcefully restarted the computer,
at the password screen, after I input the password and rpess Enter, Windows doesn't log me on telling me to wait,
I again forcefully restart the computer,
insert the password- same thing (keeps loading, but there is no HDD activity- nothing happens),
force restart again,
I then go to Safe Mode,
uninstall FancyCache,
then I log on instantly without problems (after inputing the password and pressing Enter at the password screen).

I'm not using invisible memory as stated in Using RamDisk with Fancycache: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=617

I have a Core i7 920 CPU with 12GB of DDR3 RAM.

Just wanted to let you know about this.

Thank you for your bug report.

Could you please check the below values in the registry?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{71a27cdd-812a-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f}
UpperFilters

Yes, I have done some testing. Seems that a virtual computer (VMware) with the same guest OS as my host machine (Win 7 Ultimate x64) works fine with both RamDisk and FancyCache on.

The virtual machine displays fvevol rdyboost for LowerFilters and FancyCcV for UpperFilters. On the host machien it's the same for LowerFilters, but blank for UpperFilters, though, have in mind that FancyCache is uninstalled at this point in time, so it may have had the same value as the virtual machine does before uninstllation. Still, I'm not willing to install FancyCache again, as it was quite clear that it caused the logon problem on my host machine.

Yes, you are right.
