Installed Equalizer APO along with Peace but....

[audio_tony]

I've installed Equalizer APO + Peace but I have some issues with it.

Yesterday it was working ok but this morning I note that Peace takes a long time to start, and although it's appearing in task manager, the main window never appears?

Equalizer APO starts ok though. A couple of times Peace has reported it's already running in the system tray / notification area but there's no icon there.

I also note there seems to be a *lot* of activity from the HDD - am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: I just checked the Peace.exe file with Virustotal and it's flagging it as malware?

EDIT(2): I found and downloaded Peace64.exe (apparently the 64 bit version will show in the systray) however that too is flagged as having a virus by Virustotal.

EDIT(3): And about 20 minutes after posting this, the main screen appeared.

I downloaded the setup file from Sourceforge along with Equalizer APO.

Is Peace.exe trustworthy? I'm running this on Windows 7 at the moment (this is a test environment that I don;t want to install Windows 10 / 11 on).

Spec is Intel i3 (3240) with GB RAM.

Sorry I cant help with the Peace download, however I downloaded EQ APO without peace and its still pretty easy to use without it.

From memory, I'm sure the EAPO instructions warn that AV software will flag it as malware. You'll have to allow it. Peace is trustworthy in that a lot of folk use it and there are no reports of it doing anything malicious.

"1/59 security vendor flagged this file as malicious"

=> It's not malicious
