Thanks for the tip.

I found build 047 working, had installed only the ptiso.exe in the PISMO folder.

Search did not retrieve any other pt*.exe on my system.
Could Comodo firewall, Avast! AV, SpyBlaster, Adaware, SpyBot, Canon scanner or Emerge shell fill my computer process notification ressources?
Is there a way to check what’s what? I “cClean” my sustem Zen: no old drivers and apps leftovers. I use mostly GPL and small algorithm applications. Nothing too fancy, for me.
Anyway, thanks again.

Build 047 includes a fix (more of a workaround) for systems with lots of 3rd party drivers installed that have consumed all of the “process notification” resources in the kernel. In build 048 this fix was inadvertently disabled, but it will be back in the next build. The main difference between builds 047 and 048 is the GUIs for CFS/ISO/CISO/SMX creation.

You could “mount” the build 048 install package and copy out the newer pt*.exe utilities. They work without any installation.

Or you could uninstall some of the 3rd party firewall, backup, scanning, software that you are no longer using. One particular culprit was the TrueImage products that leave multiple drivers behind after uninstall, each using up limited kernel resources.

P.S. Submitting greys the box an doesn’t update the page for me, i had to reload the site and come back her to see the posting.
What about the CATCHA code ‘below’ the Submit button? Is it part of validating the entry or… what?

PFMAP does not pre-extract to a secret temp file/folder or ram drive (ala WinMount). Data for files opened inside mounted ZIP and ISO files comes straight from the ZIP or ISO. No modifications are made to the users hard drive when ISO/ZIP/PFO files are mounted.

Truecrypt is a great tool. I would not claim PFMAP is a replacement, but for some usage models it is better suited and more convenient.

From the PFMAP readme “Private Folder utilizes AES encryption and PKCS5v2 key generation”. Only peer review of the PFO format can insure the secure algorithms are being used in a secure way. Anyone interested in reviewing the security could start with the CISO specification available on the Pismo Technic site, it uses the same algorithms and was designed by the same team. Beyond that the format specification for PFO would need to be requested and reviewed.

I’m a longtime Mac user, and I know that OS X’s Disk Utility (free- comes with the operating system: see path Applications>Utilities>DiskUtility) mounts ISO images for read-only use. As for .zips and other archives, there’s Pacifist — a graphical frontend for the command-line tool pax (and a few others added on for good measure). Pacifist is shareware but cheap. The latter works OK in OS X 10.3 Jaguar and later versions, and DiskUtility was introduced with OS X 10.1.

Hope this helps.

Publicly stating that you really don’t give a sh*# about the site’s visitors probably isn’t a good idea.

This program requires the Pismo File Mount system extension. This extension is included with the “Pismo File Mount Audit Package” available for free download from http://www.pismotechnic.com

but the Audit Package is what I am trying to install… the file is pfmap-045.exe
I don’t get it.

It’s good that you are removing this site since you obviously contribute nothing and are merely wasting this site’s bandwidth. Goodbye!
