i made myself portable versions of SPlayer, MPlayer WW, and PowerDVD because i dislike VLC's interface and video quality; it feels and looks unpolished.

I also downloaded PortableApp's SMPlayer, but it doesn't work for me; very rare that an app from PortableApp doesn't work. More than likely, it's the player itself that's causing the problem.

I use all of them, but in the end: i use VLC 99% of the time. I just wish the video quality was better and the interface wasn't so rough and rugged. If VLC fixed that, i could get rid of the rest.

Not a big fan of VLC, but sometimes you need a dependable portable player. This version (v2.0.1) runs great. I ran music and videos on XP, 7, and 8RP. No problems.

Ah, ok. Try posting on the app's homepage (at the very bottom) a message describing your exact problem and system specs. The author should be informed about such an important issue.

Hello all,
Version 3.2 brings the Windows 8 style ribbon interface, which I truly dislike. The previous version (PicPick version 3.1.9) was OK for my needs, and conformed well to my Windows 7 operation system, but I don't have any copies of it. Does anybody know where I can find the latest version (3.1.9) with the Windows 7 interface?
Thanks a lot.

@emrea

I found it here - http://www.filehorse.com/download-picpick/11743/

It may be available elsewhere too.

You'll need to follow the extraction process above, checking the executable version for PicPick will tell you for sure this is v319. It looks like it based on the size of the installer, 12.3 MB, v320 is smaller, 8.7 MB.

emrea on 2012-11-27 20:30

@Mike.S.G. Thanks a lot! This is the version I have been looking for. I had searched for it at OldApps.com, etc. obviously without any success, and even sent an e-mail to the software developers but rushed here fearing that this certain version might be erased from the virtual space quickly (that's how paranoid I am :)
Again thanks a lot for your help.

Can't live without this app. I don't know how many problems I've fixed, with others' computers as well as my own, just by running CCleaner once.

guinness on 2012-09-26 12:40

WinApp2.com has just push the 1000 programs mark for cleaning additional applications that CCleaner doesn't.

Ganamyde on 2013-03-26 18:53
