Crash on laptop

[genegold]

Acer laptop with SSD where it's run before, but crashing consistently today.  Using Weekly System run.  Everytime I was watching crash was at the beginning of Zone 4.  Reinstalled twice, first regular and then debug version, with same results.  First and last ~300 lines of Debug log attached.

It's the "Program Hints" bug. Look here for a solution.

You should not use the System Disk scripts on a SSD. These just wear out the disk without any performance gain. Use the Flash Memory Disk script instead.

You should also disable Superfetch (or rather keep it disabled).

Working on Darlis' suggestion to modify the Flash Memory Disks script to run on both my laptop and desktop SSDs monthly (monthly per site suggestion - both SSDs have Win 7 system and all applications).  I need some help getting the syntax right for selecting one volume (desktop drive = I:).  I've been trying various versions of the following without success:

VolumeSelect
  Name("I:")
  CommandlineVolumes()
VolumeActions

Thanks.

If it's only i: you want to run the script on, remove "CommandlineVolumes()".

Thanks. That helped on both scores.

I just set up a run for the data drives using a series of four "Name("_") or Name("_)..," and it runs correctly.  But before trying it that way, I tried the ExcludeVolumes syntax showing under Scripts.  I took out the "CommanlineVolumes()" line, but it didn't like the ExcludeVolumes command.  Here's what I tried, with and without the outside parentheses (I: and C: are system drives for Win7 and XP):

/* Select and process the volumes one by one. */
VolumeSelect
  ExcludeVolumes(Name("I:") or Name("C:"))
VolumeActions

What needed to be different?

[Darlis]

If you want to work with ExcludeVolumes you have to use it outside the VolumeSelect:

Code:

/* Exclude SSDs */
ExcludeVolumes( Name("I:") or Name("C:") )

/* Select and process the volumes one by one. */
VolumeSelect
  all
VolumeActions

Or you could simply replace "ExcludeVolmes" with "Not":

Code:

/* Select and process the volumes one by one. */
VolumeSelect
  Not ( Name("I:") or Name("C:") )
VolumeActions

Thanks!

Strange.. I just got an email that SammyCase had posted on this thread, but don't see anything after my last one on 9/25.  In fact, the only mention of SammyCase I find is in this post.
