kris

as usual i steamed in with both feet…the software works great BUT a couple of things to bear in mind

1) there is no info on how to reverse the process….

it’s actually not too tricky …if you go to the folders/files you optimized you will see that all original files have the last character of the file suffix replaced with a ~…so its a simple matter of renaming the compressed files …
ren*.dll *.dllcomp
and then renaming the backups
ren *.dl~ *.dll

do the same for exes and other renamed files….

2) Huge WARNING…maybe i am a bit of a donkey but i thought i would apply upx to all of the auto load progs…SILLY ME…outcome right mouse explore causes a crash and dr watson and killed my virus stuff…SO DONT APPLY UPX to Antivirus, Spyware, Firewall (Specifically AVIRA, Threatfire, and PC TOOL Firewall +)…I did and they got screwed …i fixed it by a combination of uninstalls and the renaming trick(?) above

Hope this helps and saves some one some grief….

there are alternative free upx front ends

Cheers again

Hi,
I tried the UPX program on JASC Paint Shop Photo album which is painfully slow to load. I got a number of errors during the process – consoleredirection.exe has encountered a problem and has to close – I responded to it and the compression continued. What was that about?

I could not detect any change in the load time. Anybody have any luck with hanksrunning the program for iTunes?

Thanks for all of your work.

Hi Kris, watched a few of your dvds and they were brill, however this program is not one of them.Downloaded and installed fine, did what you suggested, made compression best and clicked make backups. Tried it on all my start up items thinking it would make my pc boot faster, how wrong I was, boot up time on welcome screen went from 14 secs to 41 secs, then when my pc did boot I got the error message Cannot locate protected program data. Ran Misconfig and stopped all start up items from loading, boot up time was better 12 secs on welcome screen, but still the error message, tracked it to me anti virus which this program completely trashed, didn’t no were the back ups had been stored and firefox took twice as long to load. however I did make a restore point which I had to use to get my pc back to normal. I would recommend everyone to do this and only try one program at a time with this App then restart your pc,any problems you no right away which program is the problem.
