14:48:18 <twidlar> help
15:06:03 <Mir> be more specific please
15:14:03 <twidlar> I've had Thunderbird Portable running under WinXP from external HD L: for months, no problem. I'm taveling now. I move L: to a Vista laptop, TBP ran finr the first time. From the 2nd time forward, TBP complained "cannot initialize browser security". I change yahoo.com to no security, fine. But gmail.com must have security. What do I do?
15:18:45 <twidlar> I tried to update TBP. I was told "no, an XML file is damaged".
15:19:01 *** Gizmokid2005|AFK is now known as Gizmokid2005
15:20:21 <twidlar> AUS: Update XML File Malformed (200)
15:21:03 <Gizmokid2005> twidlar: is that the full error message?
15:21:22 <twidlar> on the update, yes.
15:21:31 <Gizmokid2005> how did you try to update?
15:21:49 <twidlar> from the help menu at top.
15:22:05 <Gizmokid2005> what version of TBP twidlar?
15:22:15 <twidlar> 2.0.0.22
15:22:43 <twidlar> That was part of the message.
15:22:55 <Gizmokid2005> twidlar: download the correct language for you from this page: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable/localization#legacy
15:22:58 <Gizmokid2005> and try to update
15:23:29 <twidlar> Will that keep my old mail?
15:23:33 <Gizmokid2005> yes
15:23:40 <Gizmokid2005> make a backup just to be safe
15:23:44 <Gizmokid2005> but it should be just fine
15:25:06 <twidlar> OK. I just encountered a new problem. I just tried to bring TBP on L: up on Windows 7. I was told can execute from a readonly devive!!!!!
15:25:23 <twidlar> can't execute
15:25:25 <Gizmokid2005> twidlar: many things can cause that
15:25:55 <twidlar> Like? It's a new laptop.
15:26:12 <Gizmokid2005> is the "L:" drive a usb drive?
15:26:21 <Gizmokid2005> many have a "switch" or some type of option to make them read only
15:26:23 <twidlar> yes 200GB
15:26:23 <Gizmokid2005> it could've been switched
15:26:30 <Gizmokid2005> it could also be due to permissions
15:27:31 <twidlar> Evidently Vista and Win7 did something to to WinXP permissions. That makes it much less than portable.
15:28:06 <Gizmokid2005> twidlar: typically it's a case by case issue...I've never had issues going between Win7 and Xp
15:28:08 <Gizmokid2005> not once.
15:28:12 <Gizmokid2005> and I've done it quite a bit.
15:28:32 <twidlar> I must be lucky, I guess.
15:28:50 <twidlar> It's my first and only time.
15:29:20 <twidlar> Plug it in and all goes to hell.
15:29:42 <Gizmokid2005> it does happen...you can check the permissions of the drive and make sure it's not set to read-only
15:31:39 <twidlar> I've never played with permissions. Where do I do that?
15:32:02 <Gizmokid2005> if you right-click on the drive in My Computer
15:32:10 <Gizmokid2005> go to properties
15:32:20 <Gizmokid2005> and then it should tell you on the general tab
15:32:28 <Gizmokid2005> if not, look in the Security Tab
15:35:32 <twidlar> I'm on Win7 DANEEL. L: is now on the HOMEGROUP network attached WinXP MARVIN. General tab says NOT readonly or hidden.
15:36:05 <Gizmokid2005> so it's actually a networked drive?
15:37:59 <twidlar> Right now, yes. I could change it. I get the security warning when L: is cabled to WinXP MARVIN or cabled to Vista FLUFFY.
15:38:15 <Gizmokid2005> what version of Win7 are you on?
15:40:38 <twidlar> Got it last week. Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
15:40:55 <Gizmokid2005> That's the problem.
15:41:10 <Gizmokid2005> Windows7 does not play nice with WIndows XP and older shared drives in terms of permissions and access
15:41:23 <Gizmokid2005> there are a few hacks out there to make it work correctly, but most involve editing the registry.
15:41:24 <twidlar> Rats. What to do?
15:41:53 <twidlar> I don't like that but I could do it.
15:42:18 <Gizmokid2005> you'll have to do some searching for something along the lines of "unable to connect to XP share with Windows 7" and sift through the results
15:42:33 <Gizmokid2005> I don't recall offhand what the edit was, but what I do remember, it was only 1 registry key that needed modification
15:43:16 <twidlar> That fixes the readonly but not the security?
15:44:00 <Gizmokid2005> the security is what specifies whether or not it's readonly
15:44:39 <twidlar> If I end up needing to, how do
15:45:17 <twidlar> I install TBP anew and then load in the old mail. I tried that once with n o result.
15:45:53 <Gizmokid2005> twidlar: it's not the prettiest of procedures, but just install TBP to a new folder, and you can check the Thunderbird help pages, or their IRC channel for help on how to do it.
15:46:28 <twidlar> I looked but haven't found it yet.
15:47:11 <twidlar> I rather reinstall than screw around with Win settings.
15:47:34 <twidlar> on 3 different Win systems
15:53:21 <twidlar> I'm reading http://kb.mozillazine.org/Move_a_profile_to_Portable_Thunderbird

16:20:09 <NeonLightning> can someone point me to a guide on making a launcher? i have the program, i have the before and after regshots(and compairison)
16:20:44 <NeonLightning> and i know this program can run portable the only time the reg is called is uninstall and updates
16:22:22 <sar3th> NeonLightning: a good starting point is this article: http://portableapps.com/node/14868
16:26:28 *** twidlar has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
16:30:40 <NeonLightning> ok so it looks like i messed up from the get go and only scanned the registry
17:22:16 <NeonLightning> um hm nis edit is in spanish
17:24:25 <NeonLightning> took a bit but found the setting

17:36:46 <NeonLightning> yea i don't have the time/patience right now to learn this and implement it. meh i'll just use war3 copied onto flash and add the reg entries when i need to update
17:39:13 <NeonLightning> gotta say after looking into the nis stuff(kinda surprised i've never done so before) i have a even greater respect for people that make portableapps

21:00:47 <Gizmokid2005> Yes it is pa_8168, but look in there

21:00:57 <pa_8168> oh ok
21:01:06 <pa_8168> thanks
21:04:50 <pa_8168> cant find readme.txt but i found GoogleChromePortable.ini
21:04:52 <pa_8168> thanks
21:05:46 <Gizmokid2005> pa_8168: you're welcome. Readme.txt should be in there...just add your directives to the "additional parameters" line
21:06:07 <Gizmokid2005> and then copy it to the root of GoogleChromePortable
21:06:54 <pa_8168> ; More parameters to pass to chrome.exe, use to enable experimental features. Google ChromeExecutable=chrome.exe
21:07:13 <pa_8168> i'll try by adding it there
21:10:12 <Gizmokid2005> no
21:10:22 <Gizmokid2005> it's got to be in the "additional parameters" line right above that
21:11:25 <pa_8168> still searching
21:11:39 <Gizmokid2005> it's right above what you pasted
21:12:17 <pa_8168> oh ok
