Was decrypting a 2,517,015,436 bytes file. After a few minutes of crunching I get a pop up window with message stating: Pop-Up window title: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Error message: Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\bin\Kleopatra.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right click and choose "Decrypt and verify" 2. Click button: Decrypt/Verify 3. Enter password 4. Runs for a bit then crashes Actual Results: Get pop up window as per submit line Expected Results: It decrypts file in question with no issues. Cannot get to my encrypted data. No issues previously. I reboot to clear out anything that may be causing conflicts but no luck. Windows 8.1 All current on OS updates/patches as of 05-APR-2015
OK This is not a Kleo or gpg issue. After a bit of searching found a work around. First tried to increase the memory available to each process via the command: bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 4000 But it would still hit some memory constraint (I delete the set value as that wasn't the solution. cmd ran: bcdedit /deletevalue increaseuserva) Then ran gpg via the command line which did not consume much memory. command ran: gpg -o outfile -d file.tar.gpg Then untar'ed the file via 7-Zip And then all good in the world! Guess Kleopatra does things in memory and once you reach a certain file size in the 32bit (I think I have the 32bit version) world it crashes. Not sure if there is an option to set via the gui. Or if there is a 64bit version. But I've my data! I'll just make smaller encrypted files/directories to avoid this in the future. Thanks
