St Bosse Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Why is the latest VP update (v10.63) file size so much smaller than the previous one? (about 30%). I am hesitant to update, reading about some of the complaints. St B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Is it possible that you are comparing 32 with a 64-bit versions? Version 10.63 (32) is 4.28GB. 10.63(64) is 5.18. Don't be too concerned. Unaware of verified issues or bugs that haven't been addressed. Need specifics, and several users have not followed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, when one check for updates on the menu of VP, why would it then say yes to the wrong n-bit version? Shouldn't it stay in-line with the bit version already installed?

borate Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Doesn't matter which version is installed, 32- or 64-bit. The next install will overwrite. To see which it is watch the opening screen when VP loads or click FILE |HELP |ABOUT VIDEOPAD. If it doesn't list "64" it's not. The popup that appears when clicking the download link may give a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Bosse Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Thanks borate, Never thought of looking there. Not wanting to labour the point, how does one then get the 64-bit version if preferred? Check for update only says "new update available", (without choice?)

borate Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 It's offered from time to time on the download pages. But this link should fetch it reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
