That player likely doesn't have the performance to meet ReadyBoost's
needs.

You can get more with a kind word and a 2x4 than just a kind word.

device in the Computer folder and select properties , then ReadyBoost.
Then check the "use this device" button and click apply. You may need to try
this 3 or 4 times, or it may not work at all, it will tell you here. But try
a few times before trying another USB device.
Look here for working device list:

i have a strange problem with readyboost,when i click on the readyboost tab it gives me no options to test my usb stick ? it just tells me: the device is plugged into an unsupported interface? strange as im usb 2, all of the usb sockets on my computer are ? any1 no why this is ? so i dont know if my usb stick is good 4 readyboost

> i have a strange problem with readyboost,when i click on the readyboostYou troubleshoot by isolating variables. The variables are your USB key and
your USB ports. So, try your USB key in different USB ports on your
computer. If that doesn't make a difference try your USB key in a different
computer running Vista. Also, if you know someone using ReadyBoost you
could try his USB key on your computer.

It's possible that your ports are not compatible, your key is not
compatible, or both.

news:eauFsAeQIHA.1212@xxxxxxMy own experience with readyboost (which seemed to be responsible for
trashing a 4GB memory flash drive after a couple of weeks) is that it
produces insignificant benefits and is quite flakey and altogether best
avoided. Save up and buy proper memory! However if you do use it, it is
probably as well to leave a small part of the flash drive as a separate
partition normal so that if things go wrong you can attempt to reformat the
flash drive. Perhaps I have just been unlucky or not given it a fair trial.
Is anyone delighted with it? - Doug

If you go into Windows Explorer, you should be able to right-click on the drive letter. Select Properties. In the Properties window which opens up, is there a Readyboost tab? There should be. If so, click on it, and then nominate that you want to use this drive for Readyboost.

>>> i have a strange problem with readyboost,when i click on the readyboostFrom my experience I agree that there is little if any improvement in
performance. In fact there is initially a decrease in performance when the
OS first starts since populating the ReadyBoost cache is one more thing
needing cpu and disk time. Ram is so inexpensive now there's little point
in trying to find substitutes for it.

I must admit, even though setting up Readyboost was easy, I saw no improvement when I added 2Gb to my 1Gb of system RAM.
