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.

Hi,
Thank you for using the forum’s to report this bug. I beleave this is something the development team & alpha team have been working on. But it’s good to know that the issue is being experienced outside the alpha team.
for now try downloading the latest version 12.02.02 and let us know if you still experience the same issues.
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/alpha120/powarc120202.exe
To be on the safe side, i would also recommend you uninstall PA, reboot and then install the latest version from a clean start.
If you have any error messages, please include screen shots. however, from what we know the system just doesnt recognise or respond so you can screen shot that :)
Cheers again! and merry Christmas! PS: I like your system specs and computer designs!!

Do you have PAVD installed (Virtual Drive?). It also installs special SPTD drivers that will be able to access your drives via custom drivers (if something has messed up your standard SPTI Windows driver).

inpot a 1.57gig DVD, opened PA>Burner>Copy Disc to ISO, the Image Grabber appeared immediately and “grabbed” the DVD into ISO.
My system is very similar to yours……I would check the settings that spwolf recommended.
-
Thanks all for the replies.
I do have PAVD installed, and that mounts my ISO’s just fine.
I will try using a different disc,
Also I have no issues creating an ISO from my HDD.
As I just dragged all my files from the DVD to my HDD and created an ISO then mounted it as G: DVD drive no issues. -
maybe copy protected DVD?
Make sure you go to Settings and change to SPTD drivers instead of Autodetection (PA Config> Misc).
-
It’s an old game but I have copies of the disc that work.
I’ll check the settings you suggestions.I’ll try some more tonight
-
Ok, I tried a totally differnt disc, and so far it is grabbing the image,
the dialog appered, but is very touchy, When I switched windows I lost the Grabber Dialog, but got it back.
Then when I went to move the dialog, Windows gave me a (Not Respondeing) however it recovered…
Image Was Sucessfull….Here is the Screenshot of my issue using the disc in question.
I have changed the settings to (Auto Detect)
the options available are:- Auto Detect
- SPTD
- SPTI
- ASPI
It appears there is only major problem with this disc,
It does not appear to be copy protected as I have made a backup.Even weirder this is not a DVD, it is a 700MB CD copy, the original has
I assumed it was a DVD, die that when I dragged the files to HDD it was 1.18GB,
but the disc itself is under 700MB.
This is either a problem with the disc, or issues with 700MB CD’s, I’ll do some more testing…
Thank’s for the replies, it is very appreciated.
the reason for this adventure is we can mount CD’s /DVD’s and virtual drives, and not have to insert a disc to play each game.
When I get this all figured out, I will do a tutorial, and recomend PowerArchiver to handle the job…
-
I went ahead and made a video of the issue.
It is only CD specific, no issues with DVD.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XaimFV-Do0Also the mounted drive does NOT seem to work with games that require a DVD in the drive to play. I have to actually put the DVD in to get it to work. I have even tried renaming the drive to D:/ but still does’nt work.
I forgot to mention that when selecting SPTD, I do get a dialog, but drive does not appear.
Also that others are doing this and having the same isuues.
-
Thanks for posting the video!
Does the same thing happen if you enter ANY CD in the drive?
What is the longest you waited for before turning the program off?
You should be able to just press the “Open” button on your DVDrom drive and the disc tray should open up, without you having to turn your computer on or off, does that work?Also, lets try this…after entering the disc and Image grabber working in the task bar, open the Task Manager>Application Tab>Right click on PowerArchiver 2011: Image Grabber>Select Maximize
Does that bring it up at all?

Any CD will cause the issue, even data cds I made myself, please note I have no issues with DVD
I’ve waited About 15 minutes before turning it off.
Pressing the Eject button on the CD-Drive, and even right clicking on CD-Drive will not eject the CD, it is still spinning, I used a paper clip to eject it one time, not a smart move on my part. Nothing was damaged.
I have used TaskManager, tried ending process, it goes through the process, but will not stop the drive from spinning. I have also tried right clicking on the TAB and restoring it from there, but no luck.
I will try using TaskManager to maximze/restore PowerArchiver.

when it comes to playing game DVD’s, PAVD doesnt have any DRM avoidance, so if particular DVD has DRM you wont be able to play that game.
The best thing for fixing the CD issue would be to PM us the example file (if you can find it on torrents or somewhere), so we can reproduce it here.

Only 1 game I need the CD for, and that’s OK, I can live with puting it in, I dont play that much anyway.
The main reason was for 1 game my Brother has BF2, and we fixed the issue with that one, he had not updated the game, and that fixed issue ther, no DVD required to play.
Lastly, the CD issue, it does this with CDs, CDRs etc… so I doubt having the CD would recreate the issue, as I believe my problem is with all CDs

I tried maximize from taskmanager, and I got fullscreen transparent window with title bar only (PowerArchiver 2011 ImageGrabber not responding)
Note. I used even a different CDR, different brand even SONY CD-R supremas 700MB, PNY 700MB, SONY CD-R, Memorex, as well as the Retail Game CD
Note, I even tried to disable the DVD drive in device manager,
Device manager became not responding.I was able to get the error message,

we will update the burner and see what happens… thanks for all your help.

I appreciate the help all…
I’ve been using Powerarchiver since way back when it was called something else, Powerzip maybe ?? cant remeber like 90’s, anyway, this is not causing me real issues, as the DVD ISO does work…
When I get some free time, I will try it out on a couple different computers…
Hope I’ve been of some help…
Let me know if there is anythng else I can test on my end…Thanks…
-
EasyZip… in 1999? :-).

We have updated our burner drivers, can you try again please?

It did not solve the issue on my PC,
Samsung Superwritemaster SH-223Q cannot update firmware (*)
Things that may be causing the issue:I’m using RAID 0 x2 on JMB363
System is 3-Way SLI (Doubt this is a problem)HOWEVER:
I cannot recreate the issue on several other computers
Intel G41 running Windows 8 64-Bit,
HP DV6-2155DX Laptop Winows 7 64-bit, the CD to ISO file was quick and without issue…So this issue is on my gaming rig only, it may be the
Samsung Superwritemaster Model: SH-223Q, and for some reason I cannot update the firmware from SB02 to ST02, I even reverted it back to SB00 with no avail. and still cannot update to ST02.Sorry for the trouble everyone,
Next I am going to install a new DVD-ROM or blu-ray and see if the issue still persists…Thanks for all the help…
-
yes, but it should work regardless of the drive :-).
After we finish up with beta, we would like to send you an debug version to capture logs so we can send them to our burner guys.
-
Sure, that would be great…
