Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.
Either there isn’t an update OR
the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired. -

Hi,
When you click on the Buy Now link, you come across four tabs - Home or Work, Enterprise Unlimited, Educational Discount, & Gift Discount.
What is the difference between a licence purchased via Gift Discount and a Home/Work licence?
Also, how can I renew the PowerArchiver Select plan a year after the purchase? Will it remind me automatically?
Best,

I’m running PA 21.00.17 64-bit on a 64-bit i7 desktop with W10 Pro, latest version. This 32gb of installed RAM.
As I use the PA pbs system for a number of scheduled archiving operations throughout the day, PA Starter is set to load and run at system startup.
In the course of trying to identify some causes of slowness and bottlenecks in other processes, I notice that PA Starter (PAS) always runs at between 11% and 15% of CPU (see screenshot), usually at about 12-13%. This is by far the highest demanding process on the system, as shown by Task Manager. In Performance Monitor, PAS Average CPU is 8.32, with every other process at less that 1 i.e. in decimal places only.
Task Manager also shows PAS Power Usage as “Very High”, and is the only process shown thus.
I have looked again at the information about PAS at https://wiki.powerarchiver.com/en:help:details:powerarchiver_starter, which was last modified in 2016. The article states a low memory usage for PAS of 784k, which is fair enough, but it is the large CPU overhead which is of concern.
It is of course possible to change the PAS priority, but this has no effect on CPU overhead.
However, is it possible to change PAS, which is required only at intervals to initiate PA scheduled tasks, from consuming so much system resource for every moment of the day?

I’m experiencing very slow extraction speed of multipart RAR files. For the first part the extraction is super fast but when PA reaches the part2.rar the extraction from there on gets super slow. PA needed for a 6,3 GB multipart archive 30 minutes to extract. I tested then with another program and it just took 70 seconds. I had this slow extraction speed with PA for quite a long time and I always thought that is maybe because of a high compression rate that the extraction would take longer. But it seems that only PA gets that slow.
I have lots of multipart archives that are 10+ GB and with PA it would be really time consuming. Is there any solution to this?

Hi. The “Move” Action seems to be Not Working when used in the Tool – Batch Archive.
Using the Options – Configuration – Compression Profiles ---- I created a Profile with the Action of Move. Also set were Zip, and Method Deflate.
When I use the Tool - Batch Archive – It appears to me that the Action Move does not Move the compressed files (basically add to zip, and delete the added file from original location on the same disk). Zip file(s) are created and look ok.
Typically I on the Batch Archive process – I have selected options to use a Profile with the Move Action.
File’s Current Folder Group files from same folder into same archive Add subfolders to separate archivesMy PowerArchiver version is 21.00.17 .
Can you reproduce ? – Or do you need additional details or information?

Hello,
PowerArchiver Command Line 7 support file greater than 2 Go ?
Thanks
-
i just registered my own copy and i need some help to set it…
if i set the ‘configuration>shell extension>open folder after extracting’ checkbox, after decompress an archive is opened the file manager on that folder but… if somebody is using a different file manager how to open XYplorer or Directory Opus for example and NOT the MS file manager?
consider this as a feature request also if not available within the 2022 version

I am looking for a way to stop the UAC elevation prompt when running Powerarchiver. In an old post about PA 2019, someone asked this and got a response to uncheck “all users” at the prompt but I am not seeing where one can do this. It definitely seems like the way to go though as if I click on “More Details” at the prompt I see that it is trying to run “_pautil.exe /paassociate /allusers /my(long binary string)”. Can you let me know? Thanks.
PS I tried renaming _pautil.exe and this worked, but I don’t know what the consequence of doing this may be so I would like to do this properly, thanks.

Just a question is Ashampoo zip pro 4 built by Powerrachiver as it is very similar and uses the pae encryption.

There would be many of us with Intel Processors.
and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.
Reference:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdfCan we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?
Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

Multi Volume Disk Full - How to recover?
-
I created a multi volume Deflate64 archive with maximum file size of 15,000 KB. I set the options to move the files to the archive and delete the original files.
:eek: I ran out of disk space during the process. It did not create the main multi volume zip file. It created a partial multi volume file (z731) and a bunch of zero byte files (z732 … z759).
:( I tried using pkware to open z01. It asked for the location of the last disk but would not accept the directory name. Powerarchive says z01 is not a valid archive.
Is there any way to recover these files?
:) Thanks,
ForrestMult Volume files created;
15,000 KB files - downloads.z01 (…) downloads.z730
3,304 KB file - downloads.z731
zero byte files - downloads.z732 (…) downloads.z759Below are my settings for the “Add” dialog box on the Options Tab.

Compression: Maximum (slowest)

Additional Options: Include System and hidden files

Obvious things first:
!) What OS?
2) Did you create archives on the same Drive / Partition as the files?
3) Do you have another Drive/Partition to work with?
4) What is the size of your Drives/Partitions?
5) What were the original files?If the answer to 2) is yes - then do not create any new files/directories (or copies) on it.
-
Thank you for your reply!
Below is the additional information.
:) Thanks,
Forrest!) What OS?
Windows XP home addition.-
Did you create archives on the same Drive / Partition as the files?
Yes, I created them on drive two partition G: -
Do you have another Drive/Partition to work with?
Yes, I’ve already cleared additional space off. -
What is the size of your Drives/Partitions?
Drive 1: Western Digital WD1600BB-22FTA0 Capacity: 160 GB
C: Capacity: 80 Used: 52 Free: 27 NTFS % Used: 65
D: Capacity: 32 Used: 11 Free: 21 FAT32 % Used: 35

G: Capacity: 42 Used: 25 Free: 17 FAT32 % Used: 60

Yes, I’ve already cleared additional space off.Is that correct?
On this drive you tried to create an archive of ~15M*760 = ~1.275GB
You have 25GB free and it failed because the drive was FULL?Something seriously wrong here… :confused:
You didn’t clear the additional space on this G:drive I hope?I don’t know if you can recover anything from the incomplete split Zip.
Hopefully, spwolf or Ivan will chip in on that.
Are the original files (not the Zip archives) still in trash/recycle bin?
Maybe you need an “undelete type” tool?[Off Topic]
For future reference:
Deflate64 on RAR,PDF,ZIP, ISO is not a good idea as they are already compressed,
just store them into split Zip.

What version of PA was it?
-
I under estimated the hard space I would need by a few gig. I won’t make that mistake again, but I really need to recover the files left in the multi volume archive. I was just looking for a quick way to clear essential files off the 160 gig drive so I can repartition and install several operating systems. To do this I needed to clear some space on the 80 gig drive.
Yes, I cleared the additional space on G: drive. No, there is nothing in the recycle bin. I have archived and moved other files since this happened.
Here are the settings for file size when spanning volumes. I wanted the option of copying to a FAT32 partition so I kept the file sizes under 2 gig.
Multiple Disk Spanning: Custom
Max. volume size: 15000 kBytes15000 kBytes = 1.5 Gigabytes
760 * 1.5 GB = 11.40 GigabytesThanks,
Forrest -
The version of PA I am using is Powerarchiver 9.01.01 (August, 2004).
–Forrest
-
15000 kBytes = 1.5 Gigabytes 760 * 1.5 GB = 11.40 Gigabytes
No (approximation ignoring decimal/hex argument) -
1 GB {Giga} = 1000 MB {Mega}
1 MB {Mega} = 1000 kB {kilo}So 15000 kB = 15 MB
Whereas
1.5 GB = 1500 MB = 1500 000 kBFor intended 11.4 GB -> did you activate “Make Large Zip File (over 4GB)” ?
But too late now :(
I’ll leave it to spwolf regarding recovering files from incomplete spanned Zip.
-
Your right! Oooops! Been awhile since I did the numbers. :p
14.6 MB (15,360,000 bytes) -
Your right! Oooops! Been awhile since I did the numbers. :p
14.6 MB (15,360,000 bytes):eek: Me too - ~15M*760 = ~11.275GB
So, now on G: you still have (zip…Z731) files which are valid -
Which is about 10.9GB correct? :D -
you could try repairimg the file using the file repair or you could try winmzip as they might be able to sovle your problem but if that fails then i would try advance zip repair. if that failes powerarchiver which might work but as you’ve tried that the only hope then is that the file can be recovered by someone canbn you post it here so we can try to recover the files for you.

For safety, only do this with copies of your Zip Files - otherwise you might lose them completely.
canbn you post it here so we can try to recover the files for you.
Cannot attach 10GB !!
Or even first couple (15MB each)!! -
Sorry for the delay. I’ve tried a few things but still have not been able to access the files.
:cool: I have resolved myself to the fact I may not be able to recover the files. I am continuing mostly out of curiosity now.
I have combined the files into one file using the instructions here;
http://www.repairfile.com/faq.htm10.3 GB (11,089,920,000 bytes)
I tried “Advanced Zip Repair” but it locked up. It may have had problems because I was using to many system resources. I’ll try to rerun it overnight.
I am looking into the structure of zip files at this link;
http://www.pkware.com/company/standards/appnote/I am using this hex editor which handles large files;
http://www.sweetscape.com/010editor/If I find anything new I’ll make a post.
–Forrest
p.s. davidsplash - I’m not sure if winmzip was a mispelling as I cannot find any information on it. Besides “Advanced Zip Repair”, I have tried powerarchiver, pkzip, zipzag, and winzip. None of them will open the file.
-
meant winzip. However it might be good to put the file to gether ie. link it up to one then have a go

Anyway, Forrest - you are at correct track, it would be a lot of manual work but that is the only way…
