<b>How can I use LameXP as a "portable" application?</b><br>
|
||||||
|
<br>
|
||||||
|
LameXP always is "portable", in the sense that the application works out of the box: LameXP does NOT require<br>
|
||||||
|
any additional software, such as codecs, encoders, decoders or runtime libraries, and it will NOT install<br>
|
||||||
|
anything of that kind on your local computer! All the third-party tools used by LameXP are already built-in.<br>
|
||||||
|
There currently are two notable exceptions: The Nero AAC encoder and the WMA decoder cannot be redistributed<br>
|
||||||
|
along with LameXP for legal reasons. Therefore these tools have to be obtained as separate downloads.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>
|
||||||
|
Having said that, LameXP stores its configuration file in the %LOCALAPPDATA% folder on the local computer.<br>
|
||||||
|
That's because on a modern multi-user operating this is the only "correct" folder to store user-specific<br>
|
||||||
|
configuration files. Also it's one of the few folders where an application is guaranteed to get write-access,<br>
|
||||||
|
even when the application was launched by a "normal" (non-admin) user and did not request elevated rights.<br>
|
||||||
|
Storing the configuration file in the "install" folder is antiquated and highly error-prone.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>
|
||||||
|
Still some users may want to store the configuration file in the same folder as the LameXP execuatble file,<br>
|
||||||
|
e.g. when launching LameXP directly from their USB stick on different computers. For this purpose LameXP now<br>
|
||||||
|
offers a "true" portable mode. You can enable that mode simply by renaming the LameXP executable file to<br>
|
||||||
|
"LameXP-Portable.exe". But be aware: When running LameXP in the "portable" mode, the user(!) must ensure that<br>
|
||||||
|
write-access is granted to the directory where the LameXP exectable is located.<br><br>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

<b>The LameXP startup (splash screen) takes very long on my system. What can I do?</b><br>
|
||||||
|
<br>
|
||||||
|
Starting up LameXP shouldn't take longer than approximately 10 seconds. However it was brought to our<br>
|
||||||
|
attention that badly optimized anti-virus software can slow down the startup procedure a lot! On our test<br>
|
||||||
|
system (Windows 7 running on an Intel Core2 Q6600 with 4 GB of RAM) starting up LameXP takes about 3 seconds<br>
|
||||||
|
without an anti-virus software and about 6 seconds with the "real-time protection" of Micorosft Security<br>
|
||||||
|
Essentials enabled. With other anti-virus software the startup was delayed up to 20 seconds and more!<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>
|
||||||
|
So if you think that LameXP is starting up too slow on your system, you should temporarily(!) disable or<br>
|
||||||
|
uninstall your current anti-virus program and try again. Usually it should be sufficient to disable only the<br>
|
||||||
|
"real-time protection", "file system protection" or "guard" feature of your anti-virus software. If it turns<br>
|
||||||
|
out that the startup is signficanntly(!) faster WITHOUT the anti-virus software, please report the problem to<br>
|
||||||
|
the developer of the anti-virus software. And, if they don't fix the problem, switch to a better product!<br><br>
