Hi All,
First of all I want to give thanks to all those who have made these amazing applications possible! I've been using them for years at work, where we would otherwise be forced to use IE and paint, among other useless programs.
Here is the issue. We were recently upgraded from XP x86 to Win7 x64. My Portable Apps no longer work. When launching Firefox, Chrome, Gimp, or Google Earth, they fail to open and I get the message:
"Program X has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program."
I get the splash screen in Google Earth right before it pops up. I believe it may have something to do with how badly our network is locked down... I had an issue in Firefox/Chrome before where I always got a proxy error. That was solved by renaming the Portable App folder (I know, strange, right?).
I reinstalled all the programs, no dice. I changed all the folder names and .exe names, no dice. I was able to get Firefox 3.6.21 to work by renaming the folder and .exe. Firefox 3.6 is better than the IE7 we have, but it's annoying after being used to the speed of Firefox 16.
Here is some info from event viewer:

Any ideas I'd really appreciate. I can't go back to using IE and paint!
Thanks in advance!
