02:34:07 <vf2nsr> so did you rename it to todonelist
02:34:47 <GordCaswell|busy> haha
02:35:31 <vf2nsr> just as long as it does not become quite torrent
02:38:49 *** vf2nsr is now known as vf2nsr|away
02:41:25 <JWHough> you work too hard Gord
02:41:32 <JWHough> GordCaswell|busy:
02:42:08 <GordCaswell|busy> eh? Whyfor? i'm just doing my bit, on my days off, when my family's gone to bed...it relaxes me....kind of
02:46:09 *** vf2nsr|away is now known as vf2nsr
02:54:26 <JWHough> why does regshot fail half the time on my pc?
02:54:44 <vf2nsr> does fo rme John told n=me too big of a hive
02:54:46 <GordCaswell|busy> which version of regshot are you running?
02:55:11 <vf2nsr> the last 3 have done it to me the stable and last 2 beta
02:55:17 <JWHough> the latest 1.8.2
02:55:38 <JWHough> I have like 240K files
02:55:43 <vf2nsr> but it might be operator error on my part as I usually scan all of drive c
02:55:47 <GordCaswell|busy> JWHough: try running 1.8.3 Beta 1v5, and see if it still happens
02:55:48 <JWHough> me too
02:55:57 <JWHough> let's see this time
02:56:00 <vf2nsr> does the same fo rme GordCaswell|busy
02:56:07 <JWHough> error again creating file
02:56:08 <GordCaswell|busy> I scan c: as well, but i've got my VM stripped down like crazy, so that might be it
02:56:12 <vf2nsr> both of the beta john released as well
02:56:27 * JWHough searches for the beta
02:56:50 <GordCaswell|busy> are you using a VM, or your normal OS?
02:56:57 <vf2nsr> But local install does same
02:57:13 <vf2nsr> me or he?
02:57:26 <GordCaswell|busy> either, both
02:57:45 <JWHough> I'm directly on my os
02:57:47 <vf2nsr> because I tried it on the VM you and I talked about but I can not get that vm to recognize usb
02:57:47 <JWHough> no vm
02:57:53 <vf2nsr> and even installed usb drivers
02:58:21 <vf2nsr> thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling vm to a separate hd
02:58:49 <vf2nsr> or yanking out my desktop from storage as I have a legit XP VM on it
02:58:56 <vf2nsr> with legit license
02:59:22 <GordCaswell|busy> JWHough: it's probably a failure of regshot itself. Try only scanning the "normal" directories: PROGRAMFILES, APPDATA, etc. That might make a difference in your case
02:59:54 <JWHough> beta just failed
03:00:08 <GordCaswell|busy> vf2nsr: It's never a bad idea to have a seperate dev machine if you're able to. That's why i use VMs..I don't have another machine to work with
03:00:41 <vf2nsr> I just put together a clean machine laptop XP only thing I did was put av and sp3 on it
03:00:43 <JWHough> I used sandboxie, but I can't see the registry, so I just run it on my machine and get rid of the junk manually
03:01:13 <vf2nsr> was a friends machine needs a keyboard and battery but I plug in KB and sinc eit does not travel no worry about battery
03:01:58 <vf2nsr> I had one but when I moved I had to store it and go straight with laptops
03:02:31 <vf2nsr> speaking of VM looks like oracle has update so dl now
03:02:59 <JWHough> I doubt TinyTask changed anything in terms of filesystem settings
03:03:15 <GordCaswell|busy> Yeah, most apps don't
03:05:19 <vf2nsr> GordCaswell|busy: What I been doin gpast 2 weeks is prelom on my main machine then testing on the "clean" machine
03:05:21 <JWHough> wouldn't it be funny if it randomly changed a bunch of registry settings, and crap, and installed like 10 drivers, and reset Windows to factory default settings in this release? lol
03:06:06 <vf2nsr> heck I do not even have .net on it lol
03:06:34 <GordCaswell|busy> man, that'd suck....
03:07:35 <GordCaswell|busy> To be honest, most of the updates I do, i do on my normal os, but when i need to install an app to get the files, rather than unzip, i have to use a vm, otherwise, i trust that i've been doing this long enough to be able to track down any random changes

03:18:42 <vf2nsr> Hey GordCaswell|busy since you are working on Notepad++ can you go old school with the old icon instead of the autrocious new one?
03:19:02 <JWHough> yeah
03:19:13 <JWHough> I hate that new icon
03:19:34 <JWHough> The new icon designer must be colorblind or something
03:20:04 <vf2nsr> they even give you th eoption to go old school on th eicon on install lol
03:20:28 <GordCaswell|busy> except i'm using the zip, so won't have that option. i'll see if i can find it in the zip
03:20:51 <vf2nsr> If Not I get it for ya
03:22:05 <GordCaswell|busy> Ok, so what's wanted. the one with the lizard, or without?
03:22:46 <vf2nsr> the one with just the lizard sitting on pencil looks like a witch riding broomstick

03:24:39 <vf2nsr> GordCaswell|busy: this one http://imgur.com/vXiwd
03:25:24 <GordCaswell|busy> Yeah, ok, that one's available for extraction, shouldn't be a problem
03:25:42 <vf2nsr> ok cause I was about to extract it for you
03:25:59 <vf2nsr> comes up as 64 64 8bit right?
03:26:16 <GordCaswell|busy> nope, i've got everything from 256 on down
03:26:44 <vf2nsr> ok I went to extract it from the exe only gave me one option to extract
03:27:26 <vf2nsr> only one that gives me more is the one with him on the stenobook
03:28:03 <GordCaswell|busy> yeah, isn't that what you're wanting?
03:28:13 <vf2nsr> no it is the one all by himself
03:28:32 <vf2nsr> that is my desktop in background
03:29:08 <GordCaswell|busy> ah... that one isn't really meant to be used in the context we're wanting, from what i can tell...lots of resizing to do it. i'll see what John says about it, though
03:29:31 <vf2nsr> well they allow it on the local install
03:29:46 <vf2nsr> at least you can more or less ssee what it is in PA menu
03:29:55 <vf2nsr> the onther thing is hideous imho
03:31:08 <vf2nsr> you can not even see the thing on the PA menu
03:31:44 <vf2nsr> wj=hatever

12:45:41 <pa_2595> it is installed, but it didn't recgonize the portable application which i installed before.
12:46:19 <pa_2595> i need help to do this setting.

12:47:33 <TPFC-SYSTEM> In most cases, you can simply move them there.

16:03:25 <wrinklyrocker> Thanks but I was downloading LibreOffice and it will run from the flash drive but not from the menu. Could I have done something wrong or do I need to make a fresh start?
16:03:50 <vf2nsr> where did you install it relative to th emenu?
16:04:19 <vf2nsr> is it in a folder next to the Portable able apps folder or is it in side of the portableappas folder?
16:04:37 <wrinklyrocker> It is in a folder in the root folder
16:04:55 <vf2nsr> it needs to be in the portableapps folder that the menu created
16:05:05 <vf2nsr> so would be usbstick\portableapps
16:05:09 <vf2nsr> \libre
16:05:40 <vf2nsr> in order for th emenu to work all apps are stored with in th eportableapps folder
16:06:07 <wrinklyrocker> OK do I need to move the folder into the portableapps folder of do I need to reinstal
16:06:19 <vf2nsr> either will work
16:06:54 <wrinklyrocker> OK Will try moving the folder now thanks
16:07:36 <vf2nsr> just ake the entire libre folder and move it into the PA folder then you can refresh the icons and they should show
16:10:39 <wrinklyrocker> Have done and it is now showing in the menu. Is this the same for other apps e.g. ClamWinPortable ?
16:11:06 <vf2nsr> yes all apps should reside in portableapps folder to be recognized
16:13:39 <wrinklyrocker> Many thanks for your help. I will now try to get some more of this sorted. I have been stuck for some time now with this little misunderstanding. This has proved to be the best chat/ help I have ever used. Again it is well appreciated.

19:29:36 <vf2nsr> click on the systray icon
19:29:50 <vf2nsr> it should pop back up
19:30:12 <vf2nsr> or click on the taskbar
19:30:26 <vf2nsr> if it is residing there
19:31:39 <wrinklyrocker> Ta muchly, it is in the hidden icons in my systray.
19:31:52 <vf2nsr> yup lol
19:33:11 <vf2nsr> me I ate it when windows hides things lol

19:44:53 <Guest4143> zscaler has categorize portableapps.com as a known botnet hub.
19:49:16 <Guest4143> can portableapps.com reach out to them to remedy the situation?
19:50:04 <vf2nsr> what is zscaler and if it reports it you should report it as a false positive
19:51:08 <Guest4143> they are a cloud security company
19:51:34 <vf2nsr> then you need to erport it to them as a false positive
19:53:09 <Guest4143> wouldn't it be more credible coming from portableapps.com
19:53:31 <vf2nsr> no since we are not the user you are
19:54:09 <Guest4143> ok i will try thanks

22:35:18 <lar> minecraft requires a java runtime environment please install jportable
22:35:46 <vf2nsr> then you might want to reinstall jportable
22:36:17 <lar> ok one sec i will give me a few mins
22:36:22 <vf2nsr> otherwise leave note in forum for developer
22:36:44 <kAlug> lar: You're running the Minecraft executable, correct?
22:36:52 <lar> yes
22:38:34 <kAlug> I tried to make it work with jPortable. Didn't worked. I guess the path is somehow hardcoded.
22:38:42 <kAlug> path -> to Java
22:39:24 <kAlug> Oh, wait, Minecraft Portable m(
22:39:32 <lar> still says same thing vf
22:39:56 <kAlug> Where are Minecraft Portable and jPortable installed?
22:41:32 <lar> j portable is installed in :/j and mportable is in :/j/mcraft/minecraft 1.2.5/minecraftportable
22:42:17 <kAlug> So there is a java.exe in J:\CommonFiles\Java\bin?
22:42:51 <lar> yes
22:43:40 <kAlug> Do you know how to open a command prompt?
22:43:45 <lar> yes
22:44:44 <kAlug> Good. Open one and type
22:44:54 <kAlug> Set JAVA_HOME=J:\CommonFiles\Java
22:45:08 <kAlug> And then run the Minecraft Portable launcher from it.
22:46:25 <lar> i dont have a common files folder
22:46:34 <lar> its a external hard drive
22:47:05 <kAlug> You told me there was one.
22:47:22 <kAlug> Maybe J:\Java?
22:47:28 <lar> correct
22:47:35 <vf2nsr> are you running it through Platform?
22:47:35 <lar> thats where it is
22:47:45 <lar> how would i tell
22:47:45 <kAlug> Set JAVA_HOME=J:\Java
22:48:19 <vf2nsr> wondering if it is not recognizing java portable since not installed with menu?
22:48:51 <kAlug> vf2nsr: It's not installed in the right place. The launcher (if it's PAL) looks at ..\CommonFiles\Java.
22:49:13 <vf2nsr> kAlug: yes that was what I was asking so to speak
22:49:30 <lar> ok i tried it did not open anything
22:49:42 <kAlug> Any error message?
22:49:58 <lar> should i put the set message
22:51:09 <kAlug> Yes. Run that Set command in the command prompt and then run Minecraft Portable from it.
22:51:11 <kAlug> So:
22:51:13 <kAlug> Set JAVA_HOME=J:\Java
22:51:24 <lar> ok hang on

22:52:33 <lar> enter
22:52:42 <lar> or else
22:54:19 <kAlug> Ah, you are using an hyphen (-). It's an underscore (_).
22:54:32 <lar> _ that
22:54:33 <kAlug> Type that line and then enter.
22:54:38 <kAlug> Yes.
22:54:47 <lar> ok now what
22:54:54 <lar> it did something
22:55:03 <kAlug> What's the message?
