I’m not sure at the moment, I’ll have a think about it and see if I can find what the problem might be.

I have been using each beta version as its been released on 4 different XP computers. On my primary XP machine, beta’s 2, 3, and 4 are not responding when attempting to eject usb flash or external hard drives. USB DiskEjector just freezes and I have to shut it down and use the built-in Windows Safely Remove Hardware utility. However, if I use v1.12, the drives eject fine and no freezing. Any idea why this is happening?

This particular computer has more card readers and usb devices connected to it than my other machines. On occasions I have had to correct the drive letter so I’m thinking that may be what is causing the problem. Although, after correcting a drive letter, it does show properly in all versions.

I would like to see an option to sort by either drive letter or name.

Nice program BTW.

Michael: Beta 2 is old – its now up to beta 4 – http://quick.mixnmojo.com/usb-disk-eject-1-2-beta-4-last-beta-before-release-hopefully

Also: thats probably happening because you’re using Vista or Win7 where apps cant write to program files without admin access. Store the application somewhere else.

“Cannot create file “C:Program FilesUSB_Disk_Eject.cfg”. Access is denied.”

Happens when trying to set configuration.

Make sure ‘show balloon notifications’ is ticked in options. You could also try beta 3 http://quick.mixnmojo.com/usb-disk-eject-1-2-beta-3-please-test

Windows 7 no eject balloon

Hi, I just wanted to put in a belated thank you for adding Windows 2000 support a while back.

Win 2000 is one OS that really needs this software as it forces you to use the damn built-in feature that needs several clicks � maddening if you use a USB all day!

Also the auto minimize to tray on minimize and close are neat little timesavers.

Getting back on topic about the beta: balloons are much better than message boxes. Another smart move!

Thanks!

I would like to be aple to supress the message that the drive is in use when used in a batch file & allow branching instead. This could be a method of testing if the drive is in use.

I use version 1.1.2, which is the latest and searched for the “more”-button to set it as I want it e.g. when I close the program or my computer it’s gone, probably because it’s not installed. Any solution for this?? Should I use the instable beta-version, which I prefer not to do by the way.

Thanks in advance.

The SysInternals Sync program may be what you need to solve your card reader ejection problem

Is it possible to hide/exclude certain drive(s) from the drive list? I have an external hard disk connected for backup purposes and I do not want it to be disconnect by mistake.

Keep up the good job Thanks.

I have been using this for a long time and it has worked flawlessly until now. My Passport Elite external drive is recognized as a composite device and will not eject with this software. All other devices eject with no issues. I am using Win 7 64 bit and run the program as admin to avoid memory leak errors.

Great app… ^-^b

I see that this app closes applications that were launched from the ejecting disk only, but could it displaying what prevents a device from being stopped? So I wouldn’t close all app that opening… ^^ It would be a useful feature.

Like this app can do – http://safelyremove.com/

Its definitely not infected – if you look at that report only one virus scanner flags it – and its a false positive.

I’m also getting freezes now, having been running Beta 2 fine for ages. Some drives eject fine, others cause the freeze. In fact, even the same drive will eject successfully one day and cause the prog to lock up the next.

It is, but progress is slow. There hasn’t been another beta release.

I’m still working on it when I get time.

Hello. Is this still being worked on? I’ve been using the 1.1.2 version and it’s very nice indeed. Any updates to this fine product would be welcome. I’ve not tested the beta yet. Has it been updated? Thank you.

Hey, still loving this app. Just wanted to reiterate my suggestion of a wildcard eject function. This would be great for hibernating a laptop right before unplugging it and taking it elsewhere (sans all connected devices). Slap it in a BAT file with the hibernate command on the second line and you’ve got a great hibernate script that helps prevent window’s confusion upon coming out of boot.

thanks again!

Hey, great job on the app, congratulations. One small hiccup, though: today the Ejector won’t work right, when I double-click on the icon for the flash drive, it freezes and I have to kill it, ’cause otherwise it won’t close. No new hardware has been added to my rig, and no change has been made to my Windows, any thoughts?

The code is still in a state of flux. The command line options haven’t been updated yet to incorporate the new features. So the switches dont yet support card readers.

—————————————————
A status update for all – when I’ve had the time to work on the app, I’ve been working on uncoupling the code from drive letters. This means that it will now work with drives mounted to mountpoints that dont have drive letters. Once this is fully working (I think its 90% done) I’ll be trying to solve all remaining bugs.
