problem launching PDF-Xchange Editor (not so with Viewer)

Submitted by itsame on May 30, 2017 - 5:42pm

system: Win 7 Sp1 x86
This is an issue on my side, trying to run the new PDF-X Editor. I have successfully used the PDF-X Viewer.
As a note, this problem occurs with the publisher's original software as well.
The issue seems to be the DLL that is being used as a call from the exe - the problem is that the program does not launch. The executable (PDFXEdit.exe) may sometimes appear TaskMgr before the process terminates w/o any log present in event viewer. PDF-X Viewer did not have this issue because it uses an exe file as the main program.

[Closed] VIRUS - Wise Registry Edit & Cleaner

Submitted by saghalie on May 23, 2017 - 10:39am

Norton just hit Wise Registry Editor with Ransom virus warning. I was able to stop it from loading but am not really sure it's a virus. Norton has been giving me a lot of false positives lately.

But this was an update from this morning that portable apps downloaded to my computer so I wanted to get the warning out there so you can check your files to make sure it's actually a virus or not.

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Saghalie

[Fixed] SWI-Prolog: outdated license and supported windows versions

Submitted by janw on May 13, 2017 - 10:24am

On https://portableapps.com/apps/development/swi-prolog_portable, it is stated:

System Requirements: Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10
License: Free / Open Source (SWI-Prolog: GPL/LGPL, Launcher: GPL)

Since some versions, the oldest Windows release supported is AFAIK, Windows 7. Since 7.4.x, the license was changed to BSD 2-clause. You can checkout http://www.swi-prolog.org to verify these claims.

Unable to launch xxxxxx.paf.exe, some missing dlls ?

Submitted by rinox on May 11, 2017 - 5:24am

As in subject, I'm not able to launch any .paf.exe type file.
I think the problem is that I use a modded selfmade lite version of 2008 R1 sp2..... anyway, inspecting the paf.exe the dll imports are:
kernel32
user32
gdi32
shell32
advapi32
comctl32
ole32

In the system these files are presents, also..... the file seems to be a selfextracting 7zip because I can extract any paf.exe with 7zip but is quite annoying.
Can someone help me to find a solution for this problem? Thank you all in advantage.

Live Chat is Working Again Post-SSL enabling

Submitted by John T. Haller on May 7, 2017 - 1:19pm

Live support chat in the browser is now working again in the support section. It was failing after SSL was enforced by default sitewide as it was using an older link to the http version of freenode's web client. Live chat is now using the https version of freenode's web client and will come up by default even with adblocking enabled.
