After my last update of Realplayer to the latest version 14.0.2 I can`t exit the program. In the Windows Task Manager I see 2 processes (realplay.exe and realsched.exe), which stay behind after I close Realplayer. To end these both processes, I`ve organized the tool pskill from Microsoft`s Sysinternals Suite. With pskill it`s possible to end a process. Afterwards I create a batch-file in conjunction with pskill. With this batch-file I can now successful end my Realplayer.

But I like to close the program in a normal kind. Do anyone know a method to reach that?

Some of us had discussed this in IRC a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd put this up for anyone interested. Verizon has confirmed that FiOS won't be expanding to any new communities in 2011, the same 'on-hold' status as in all of 2010. So, if you don't have FiOS in your area yet, chances are you probably won't.

I don't know if you all have heard, but Saturday, about 8 minutes after 10 AM, some guy went to a rally and tried to kill Gabrielle Giffords, a House representative (for those outside the U.S., just think of her as a government official representing the city).

Merry Christmas to all of the crew at PortableApps.com! If it's not quite Christmas for you yet, then come back and read this tomorrow.

As the title says, why do you still use Windows? What ties you to that operating system?

For me there are probably a couple of answers:

• Games
• Ease-of-use

There are some games that just won't run on Linux or could potentially be a pain to get running (like under Wine for example). Although I've taken to playing a lot of cross-platform open source games like some of those found here, I do still like some commercial games, as does my family. Trying to get those games running on Linux just wouldn't fly, especially for family members.

I'm always willing to help people out in this area, FluXulF asked for help, and the other thread is getting off-topic, so here is where I will offer help and answer questions regarding audio and video encoding. If there is enough demand (and I have the time), I will make another thread with tons of general information on the subject, but here, I'll just answer questions.

Hello my names Mike, and I love portable apps, cause of the fact that I can run my favorite programs like Gimp, and Blender for example on a flash drive, and not have the program(s) take up space on my main HDD, and also cause normally when you install an application in windows like Gimp and you wanna uninstall it for whatever reason it'll leave extra files, and folders as well as stuff in the registry in which I feel should also be removed when uninstalling.

Didn't want to take the other thread too off topic, so I started a new one.

Anyway, I have this script so far, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything (and it's not giving me any errors in the error console):
