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. -
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).

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.

How many run Vista?
-
How many of you run Vista? This will help us in future development, so please let us know.
thank you!
-
Why can I never vote in the polls? I know no one really wants to hear my opinions, but it would be nice to get to vote once in a while. Anyway, I run XP on my two desktop machines and Vista on my laptop.
-
fixed :-)
-
Kinda both! I use vista! however, I also have 3 other computers on XP Pro Service pack 2.
The reason is testing purposes and untill most or all drivers and software supports vista I wont move over 100%.
Note I will replace all systems in a year! seeing that microsoft will half XP’s support in less than 3! by that time the new version of windows will be released that will replace Vista!
-
Poll seems to be closed….but I’m using Vista 64 on one of my desktops and 32 bit on my laptop.
-
re-opened again
-
I can’t use Vista because there’s no planned driver support for my Epson Stylus 480SXU printer and Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 series.
-
I install Vista as soon as it is launched on my notebook, but remove it in 1 week after use. Not because of my notebook doesnt meet the requirement, but Vista is really unfriendly right now in terms of driver issue from vendor.
I think i will stick to XP which works great and all my hardwares are supported.
-
I’m using Vista now; that’s why I’m here. The file compression program I had been using no longer works correctly, so I thought I’d have a look at what’s available.
-
Vista x64 in active use
-
2.5% of people coming to our website use Vista
:-)
-
so it has a long way to go…
-
I wonder what the numbers will look like this fall when the puchase of school computers start to come into play? Any predictions?
-
I’m waiting for a decent client firewall solution to support Vista before I’ll make the switch.

we will see… it will go up every day I think, as more and more people buy new computers…
there is also a lot of negative feedback around internet which is mostly not valid, as people love to blog about things they really dont know much about :-)

Well, a few days ago I broke down and upgraded to Vista Ultimate. I found that McAfee VirusScan 2007 - while not as good (in my personal opinion) as my prior security solution on XP which consisted of BitDefender antivirus combined with Outpost firewall - does work well enough to suit my needs for now while I wait for Outpost firewall to get compatible in the meantime.
While better at this than it used to be, I wish McAfee had more options for power users and administrators. For instance, it needs an option to exclude user-specified paths from real-time scanning as well as path exclusion for manual scans. I’m afraid it’s going to wreak havoc on my trojans and rootkits while I’m defragging my pc (ahem, from back when I was younger…don’t ask :D).
Having freshly installed Vista for the first time on an actual physical pc that furthermore had somewhat decent specs, in the beginning I was somewhat dazzled by all the flash and glitter. I still am. However, perhaps not too unlike marriage once the honeymoon is over, the cold stark reality - of some of the changes the Windows platform has undergone in Vista - is starting to sink in.
I’ll post about some things which I really love in the new OS and rant about some things that just deserve to be ranted about - in the ‘Software Chat’ section of the forum…
-
switched to Vista x86 Ultimate, don’t wanna use XP now ;-)
-
Been using vista ultimate for nearly 3 month. No problem.
-
Just installed Vista Home Premium on my laptop along with XP (Dual Boot) and so far everything works….sortof, but powerarchiver can’t extract ISO files properly, unlike in XP.:mad:
-
Many people run vista. I also use in my computer.
-
Windows XP (eXtra Pathetic) Pro is the last OS I will buy from M$ , I certainly won’t be buying Vista. The continuing “forced upgrades” will no doubt mean that even XP will not be supported one day. Funding the Gates empire in not on my agenda anymore, and am more than happy with the testing of Ubuntu (Linux desktop), even on a P2-350, it’s way better than anything M$ can put out. ;)

Many people use Vista. I am also use Vista. Benefits of Vista are easier, More entertaining, Better connected, Safer, Connected for Small Businesses, Efficient for Small Businesses, Future Ready for Small Businesses, Safer for Small Businesses

Ubuntu is rubbish, go Gentoo. I dual boot gentoo and vista x64, but vista is mainly used just for games.

I’m not asking you to change. I’m just telling you that ubuntu is crap.

That is only one persons opinion. ;)
Yes, you’re right. I don’t like ubuntu, other people do. Everyone’s happy :)

I’m running Vista.

I just purchased a new desktop with Vista. What a difference a year makes. I remember when I purchased my laptop a year ago with Vista, I had programs that didn’t work quite right, lots of driver issues.
Now, the new computer setup without any problems. No driver issues, all programs have release updates to work with Vista.
Maybe there is still hope for Vista.

vista on my laptop, xp on my desktop
at first I liked vista, then I didn’t, now I do again.:)
it grows on you! -
just XP, I can’t stand Vista!
-
vista is still a long way from perfect and untill vista develops into a more bug free version then i will buy a new computer
-
unless there are some specific issues with some hardware that you have, Vista is now better than XP.
I just got new laptop with XP installed and Vista is actually faster than XP now.

What are you serious? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have a very beefie laptop that can handle Crysis at full settings and Vista runs slower than XP. Every game runs slower on vista than it does on XP, their is no comparison.
-
…Vista is now better than XP.
Vista is not “now better”. It always has been BETTER. There were/are problems with some applications which also didn’t work under the User Account in xp, but this is a question to their developers.
Windows Vista is really the most secure and most powerful OS! And it is normal that new software requires new hardware!I just got new laptop with XP installed and Vista is actually faster than XP now.
I also tried installing xp on my Quad-core/4gb Ram pc and Vista works FASTER!

yep… quite serious. For applications, it is faster.
Gaming is different, depends on drivers, but I believe that latest set of drivers from nvidia are now faster on Vista.
-
I will never buy Vista for the simple fact that an Operating System is suppose to give the user control over the hardware. But in Vista, it’s all pretty and stuff. There is an Opensource Windows (XP-like interface) called ReactOS that I’m keeping my eyes peeled on. If you google it you will find it. I’m not here to advertise it or spam it :P
-
As more new computers are sold Vista will eventually be the common OS.
-
I use Vista Business
-
I use 32-bit Vista on everything desktop/laptop; but I just changed over to 64-bit Vista on a dual quad-core system.:D
-

Vista will never be as good or as fast as XP. You won’t see them extending the support for Vista like they did for XP. Vista was a huge mistake that they are still trying to cover over. Windows 7 will go the same way as it is just Vista redone.
-
FWIW I really like Vista. There are some usability changes which I cannot do without. I can live with the loss of a few FPS in games. Win 7 will be to Vista what win 98 was to ME. Apparently, the alpha is already faster and leaner than Vista. Hope to get a copy and check it out ;).
