Flash 11.4 in SRWare IronPortable v22

To get Flash support in the portable version of Iron v22:

• Start IronPortable and type "about:plugins" in the URL bar
• Scroll to the section titled "Flash"
• If there is one enabled item within that section, then Flash should already work. Test it here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
• If the section does not exist or there are no items in it, then 
• Create a folder called "iron\plugins" in the IronPortable folder
• Download the file NPSWF32_11_4_402_278.dll from the internet or copy it from the system Flash installation folder and put it in the previously created folder.
  Example system Flash installation folder: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_4_402_287.dll
• If there are more items, then 
• Disable all items but one for Flash v11.4
• Restart iron and type "about:plugins"
• If all Flash items are disabled, then enable one Flash item

Note: putting file gcswf32.dll in the root of the IronPortable folder does no longer work!

Annoying search engine abroad question

Google Chrome asks you if you would like to use another omnibox search engine when you move from one country to another. When you move across the border a lot, then this becomes quite an annoying message:

"Would you like to search with google.country1 instead of google.country2?"

If you always want to use e.g. google.nl, then make the following change:

• Wrench -> Options -> Basics -> Manage search engines
• Scroll to the bottom and fill in the columns:
• In the first column: GoogleNEW
• In the second: Google
• In the third: http://google.nl/search?{google:RLZ}{google:acceptedSuggestion}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:instantFieldTrialGroupParameter}sourceid=chrome&ie={inputEncoding}&q=%s
• Hit Enter/Return, else the results will no be saved
• Hover over the third column and click "make default"

Live calendar displays incorrectly in Chrome

At last the Windows Live calendar displays appointments correctly again in the latest Google Chrome beta release, 14.0.835.2. They fixed the improper displaying of events.

Up until now you had to use a workaround to have the bars visible in the month view:

• Download the extention Stylish
• Download the style "Hotmail calendar events fix for Chrome browser"
