Hello folks
I've discovered some odd behavior of the actual amsn portable!
asmn downloaded + installed on my usb stick at my office pc, done all settings (user icon, skin, behavior aso.) so far, everything works fine, closing amsn, starting it, do more settings, all ok!
however, when using the same usb stick with the installed amsn at my home pc, it starts ONLY for the first time almost normally, but even then you can already see some settings are gone, f.e. you can't see your self defined user icon, or the skin you've set is replaced by the default one, aso. but login is still possible. but if you then change any settings, close amsn and start it again, now EVERY settings are gone. that means for me, no auto login, default skin, no user icon, no login name nor pw stars shown, everything is empty and all settings are default like when fresh installed!
the same thing happens 1:1, when I install amsn at my home pc to the usb stick, and try to start it then again on my office pc! Really odd thing...
btw, there are different drive letters when using the usb stick at the office & at home!
(home set manual by win drive managment, at the office automatically by windows)
system data:
*) office pc:
windows xp prof. sp3, german, admin rights
usb stick drive letter: D (automatically set by windows environment)
content of "D:\USB\PortableApps\aMSNPortable\Data\settings\aMSNPortableSettings.ini"
[aMSNPortableSettings]
LastDrive=D:
LastLanguage=en
*) home pc:
vista enterprise ed., sp2, german, admin rights
usb stick drive letter: Z (manually set)
content of "Z:\USB\PortableApps\aMSNPortable\Data\settings\aMSNPortableSettings.ini"
[aMSNPortableSettings]
LastDrive=Z:
LastLanguage=en
*) usb stick:
corsair voyager gt 8gb
I've installed a lot of portable apps from portableapps.com on my usb stick, and a lot of more from different pages, all working fine till now! that's the first PA application which won't work like expected!
if someone needs some screenshots, send me your emailadress...
so, hopefully there's another one who has the same fault like me, and hopefully there'll be an solution as soon as possible! in the meantime I'll use PA pidgin portable, but he's not supporting (msn) video chat...
thx in advance for some info reply!
bye
