PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
WinRAR 5 has a rather useful option in some cases, which is to be able to create an archive by replacing identical files with a reference to the first occurrence (hardlink) within the archive.
In case you choose to convert the file with PowerArchiver to another format, however, the resulting archive does not have all the files. It does not consider those that were present as hardlinks.
If you do a normal extraction of the RAR archive instead, even with PowerArchivier, all the files are extracted correctly.
Delay in exitting the program (Pa2007)

Sorry for the vagueness but unfortunately i cannot consistently reproduce this bug.
I uninstalled the old 2006 version and did a clean install of 2007.
I use the classic interface (not the new one).
I get a delay when closing some arhives. For example i hit the X at the corner of the window with an archive open and the place where the archive contents are displayed goes blank because the file is closed but the PA window persists for about 3 or 4 seconds. It happens with any archive type but unfortunately NOT all the time. Had it happen to both zip and 7z and once with a rar archive i think.It never does it if i just open PA with no archives (just start and close the program itself).
My system spec:
Windows XP SP2
P4 3.2E
1gig DDR ram
1x 120 gb HD
1x 200 gb HDP.S. Forgot to mention that i have the new queue thing disabled (i don’t want an extra icon cluttering my system tray :( )
Hope you guys find the bug :)

i had this problem with some programs and i found that it was a internet explorer bug.
do u have any programs open when u exit pa
any programs installed recently
have you checked for spywrae and virus.
there is a way to delay programs exiting from within windows though i’m not totally shaw how it works.

I see this problem too (PA 2007 Beta 2).
The action that triggers it for me is opening a file inside a zip from PA (for example doubleclicking on a Word doc or .MSI setup file) from within PA.
If I just extract the file the delay at shutdown does not happen; I have to actually open the file from within PA.
Explorer or Classic view have no effect on this.

You got it.
Yes this is how the bug is reproduced.
If you run ANY file even a txt file by double clicking you get the delay when closing PA.Way to go mate
