Hello, does anyone know if Skype will be updated to the latest version? I'm surprised it doesn't have it's own support page or forum. Thanks

Lightscreen error

Submitted by Esgrimidor on March 24, 2011 - 5:08pm

I have the portable spanish version.

If you don't use sounds or messages in the tray icon the program don't tell you about not taking screenshots.

The screenshot was not taken

And don't tell the reason.

There was an error or you did not select a valid area

I don't know what to do.

Stickies Portable: always need to start it twice!?

Submitted by flipsns on March 24, 2011 - 2:29pm

Hello!

My System: Win XP Prof.

Problem: i always have to start the .exe-file twice! Means, when i double-click (or click once on the link on my desktop) the little PortableApps window appears and closes again, but nothing else happens! Only when i launch a second time, the program opens fully and from then on, when i close and reopen it, no problems. Until i reboot Windows. Then again, need to launch it twice.

SpyDLLRemover Portable & RootKitAnalytics

Submitted by marcopivetta on March 23, 2011 - 4:28pm

There is an issue not so clear for me about this app.

In the bottom of this page (https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/spydllremover_portable) there is the following information:

"SpyDLLRemover has been repackaged with permission of Rootkit Analytics".

BUT the site of Rootkit Analytics has an "Important Announcement" in the fontpage:

StreamArmor and SpyDLLRemover are NOT associated with RootkitAnalytics by any means. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we had to let go of the corresponding volunteer and remove all his contributions.

I´m confused. Is this a reliable app???

GnuCash Portable 2.4.4 Rev 2: GnuCashPortable.ini seems to be ignored

Submitted by cashuser on March 22, 2011 - 1:41pm

GnuCash Portable 2.4.4 Rev 2 doesn't recognize
the "PerlPath" - variable in file "GnuCashPortable.ini".
Consequently finance::quote does not work if the
Perl interpreter is not installed in the default path.
This is normally the case if a portable version of
Perl is used.
(Also if a wrong setting for "GnuCashExecutable" is
given it doesn't lead to malfunction.)

[Closed] Spybot - Search & Destroy Portable mess: dll explorer.exe registration

Hello there,

I was trying to see why I couldn't eject my usb stick from a computer and while I thought it was the win annoying bug it seems that the culprit is Spybot S&D portable build...

What happened: I did run the software from the stick, ordered an update which did a restart of the program and it seems it did integrate the "immunization" into the explorer.

I checked that using process explorer which showed me that explorer.exe is using spybot dll from the portable app folder. I will try later to see if I can un-register the dll from the computer an let you know.

GoogleChromePortable.exe Doesn't Launch chrome.exe

Submitted by kleinfelter on March 21, 2011 - 5:36pm

I have to run Google Chrome Portable from a "network" drive. It gets half-way started, but does not proceed.

Looking in Task Manager, I see GoogleChromePortable.exe running, but no chrome.exe processes running. In the Chrome UI, I see a what looks like an "about:blank" page (without "about:blank" actually being in the URL field), but the mouse pointer is a wait-cursor (the hourglass) in the content area.

If I enter an URL in the URL field, it vanishes when I press enter, and the content area still looks like about:blank, with a wait-cursor.
