PowerArchiver... does ANYONE use XP's in build zipfldrs.dll???

Hum, nlite -> remove components -> Zip Folders ? :P

Recently, on a freshly installed computer I used that to extract some drivers.

No, in fact, I started, waited 1 or 2 minutes, thought it was definitely too slow, opened IE, went to 7-zip.org, downloaded 7-Zip, installed 7-zip, cancelled the zipfldrs.dll extraction, which was not yet at 20%, extracted with 7-Zip in less than 2 seconds. :)

Specs : P4 D920 (always in Everest Ultimate Edition's top 5), 2Go RAM, 300Go RAID-0 Array.

:lol:

It's a possibility zipfldrs.dll doesn't like multi-processors systems but this would be incredible and also ridiculous. ;)

Since I deal with 2GB+ memory dump files daily, I switched to WinRAR when it could compress a 4GB dump to 85MB, and WinZip could achieve about 700MB - 1GB on it's best compression settings for the same files. I .CAB things when I'm looking for compatibility across Windows boxes (XP and up), but WinRAR when I want a file compressed to upload to me.
