Hello to all,

Every time I try to open a picture in "My Pictures" I get the message,
"UXCore.dll cannot be found", and when I close that I see another
message, "Error loading C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Photo
Gallery\WLXPhotoViewer.dll The specified module could not be found"

I have been running this application for many months now without issue. However, yesterday my company's anti-virus software would not let the program run and reported that the program VirtuaWinPortable was actually a virus: Mal/EncPk-OJ.

The antivirus software is Sophos Endpoint Security.

Any ideas?

Keep in mind I am not the administrator and cannot authorize the program, which would eliminate it as a threat.

How about a portable apps operating system that is portable like Ubuntu!

So some guy (rantingrick) is trolling comp.lang.python (and probably comp.lang.ruby and who knows what else), and the regulars are feeding him. Normally, I hate it when people feed trolls, but this response was hilarious.

Will we see a secure edition of the PortableApps platform within the next few years?
(Just asking...)

John said on the 20th of June that he would post an update in a few days.

He repeated this statement on the 24th of June after locking the update thread dated 21-5-2011.

Seeing as it is now July 3rd I was wondering how long is a few days.

Over here in England it is usually 2-3 days.

I'm just wondering if this is a good idea...

Hello everyone. I have a question that is only partly off-topic: Is it possible to turn off Autorun on Windows XP?

I am deeply disappointed with the recent MS "Security" update: while it prevents the system from starting PortableApps.com automatically, it still takes ages to process the key or hard disk to tell me that "there are different media on it; what application do I want to use?"

Wow. Really? Think about that statement for a second. While the folders code has been around a few years now, DNF has been in limbo for over 10 years.

I was going to say, a little birdie told me that Duke Nukem Forever leaked on torrent sites last night (okay, I saw it firstahand, but I did not download it), but I checked Wikipedia, and apparently the game came out today. The biggest vaporware joke in the history of the Internet... is no longer funny.
