W10 Pro 22H2 - 64 -bit
PA 22.00.06 (PA 2023)
It has been the case with previous versions of PowerArchiver, but I had hoped that the latest might behave differently. Not so, I’m afraid.
I have, for various obscure reasons, created a few .pa archives, mainly in the hope that they will save me some more space. From time to time, I use the “Test” option to check that important archives are OK and uncorrupted.
With every .pa archive I’ve tested, the process runs through OK but then reports that there are errors. This is always the number of files in the archive e.g. if 11 files, then 11 errors reported.
In the .pa, I can:-
preview the files (usually PDF) extract some or all files and look at or use them convert the .pa to a .zip or .zipx archive, which then works fine and tests without errorsIs it the case that the Test routine isn’t designed for .pa archives, or is there another reason? Although the .pa seems to function properly, despite the test reporting errors, I would like to be sure that every .pa is OK and not “broken”.
Some of the .pas are quite old and produced with earlier PA versions (they are truly “archives”). If I extract all the files in the old .pa, create a new, fresh .pa and add back the files to that, then test the new, no errors (at least in the .pa I’ve tried this on) are reported. This would suggest a mismatch between old .pas and newer versions of PA itself.

See the, supposedly, blank space where the green box is? It’s like that in Modern Light theme too. I can toggle it, but it’s missing text or shouldn’t be there I guess?
Thanks :)

For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.

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. -
I installed powarc-macos20001.dmg and I am attempting to create a password protected zip file. When I create the zip in the UI it doesn’t write the file to the destination folder. No error message is displayed. The PA app has full folder permission. I’m new to Mac, but have been running PA on Windows for a long time.
Will there be a new version of the Mac version soon?

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

Where are various settings store . . . e.g. ftp, etc.

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. -

10.20.02 with old toolbar startup funny
-
I’m using 10.20.02 beta with the old style toolbar. When I start PowerArchiver with no archive part of the window is “see-through” and my wallpaper shows through. Image1.png is attached showing the effect.

interesting… what happens when you set defaults?

Not sure which defaults you refer to.
As soon as I start to use it it redraws correctly.

Okay, maybe it’s something specific to the particular video drivers on my system. Wait and see if anyone else reports it.

Good Point Brian, are there any updates for the current video card?
-
I’ve tried on my Vista and my XP machine and seems to work fine each time. I have ATI cards.
-
Have it too. It only happens on the desktop.

I think it has something to do with the the Grid component. I have a dutch windows, maybe this is creates the problem.
-
I seem to have fixed this. It stopped when I uninstalled Novatix Cyberhawk. Maybe it was some weird interaction between Cyberhawk and either PowerArchiver or my ATI display drivers.

@Sir:
Good Point Brian, are there any updates for the current video card?
Updating my ATI video drivers is rather complicated and error prone. Also it’s somewhat vague as to which is the latest version that still supports my ancient video card.
-
-
Nope. Have no idea what that is.
-
b3.07 still has this problem.
-
this is a known fault with vista which i have been told is in the process of being fixed by microsoft. It basically is the combination of old video cards and new software like powerarchiver which use new componets that vista have to offer. no time scale was given when i relaed this problem to microsoft though they say they are looking into it
-
That’s funny. Mine is on XP :)
-
Have youi changed your browser recently as i know that, that can cause the problem. Can you let us know what updates are on your system and youir system specs.
-
not fixed in .08

@Brian Gregory
Could you also post the same screenshot made with explorer? I think you have another Icon above my document that is causing the problem.
I think I have found mine. “Driverstudio Remote Data”. For some reason PA can’t handle this, and it screws up the refresh of the filelist.

Above “My Documents” is “My Computer”.
I used TweakUI to make them appear in that order.Anyway problem is gone now I’ve uninstalled Cyberhawk.

Disabling video hardware acceleration might give a clue as to whether it’s the video driver or not. In “Display Properties”, click on the “Advanced” button then the “Troubleshoot” tab of the Video Adapter properties page that shows up.
If the problem goes away after ratcheting down the Hardware acceleration and/or turning off write combining then the problem is almost certainly he video drivers.
