A question about Quickpar

[lordhutt]

I am trying to repair some rars with Quickpar.

I am having a couple of different problems...
It will either go through the motions like it is repairing the files but when it is done nothing is repaired....OR....
I will get a 'memory fault detected' error.

I transferred a group of files to another pc and it repaired the files fine.

But it is giving me this problem with everything on the other pc.
I even just did a format and reinstalled windows and still the same problem.

BTW: I have used this pc hundreds of times for quickpar...

Any idea what the problem could be?

TIA!

I've used QuickPar 0.8 for some time, but never had those problems. If it was indeed a 'memory fault' I would think you would have problems with encoding or other memory related errors. Sorry.

Maybe you should try running memtest. http://www.memtest.org/

Already took care of it....it was a bad stick of memory.
Already got new stuff.
The crazy thing is that is was also screwing up the saved file....I rarely get bad files from newsgroups...after I dl'ed them again with the new ram they did'nt even need repaired.

Memory modules shuffle information back and forth continually. Any problem with them and any file accessed, dl'd or transferred from one location to another can get corrupted, depending on how bad they are.

Encoding video really shows up errors fast as does Unraring or any memory intensive operation. Testing them usually works, but I try to substitute as it's much faster and almost always foolproof.
