Crash when trying to create LHA

[klitos]

Hi,

Here’s a step-by-step description of the problem I referred to in an earlier post. I am using Windows XP. Problem originally seen with SP1, and now also with SP2.

1. Start the Power Archiver application.

2. Click the button labelled “New” to start creating a new archive.

3. In the New Archive dialog box, select a suitable folder and file name for the new archive, and select “Save as type: LHA”.

4. In the Add dialog box, select some files to add to the new archive. Click Add.

=> At this point, I get a message box saying “Access violation at address 0065E71E in module ‘POWERARC.EXE’. Write of address 023D964E.”

5. Press OK. The message box disappears, and I am back at the Add dialog box.

6. Press Cancel to exit the Add dialog box - get the same access violation. Try everything - Cancel, Add, “X” (close) in the title bar, whatever I try I get the access violation.

7. The only way to exit Power Archiver at this stage seems to be to use Task Manager to end the process.

I can not reporoduce this, can you please use Options> Set Installation Defaults and see if it still happens? In might be some other specific option that you are using with it.

thanks,

p.s. you are using 9.01.01 right?

Hi,

Yes, I have downloaded and tried with the latest release and with installation defaults. Same result, unfortunately. I wonder if it’s something to do with my machine’s configuration, if it’s not a problem on your machines.

Thanks,
