Options->General Settings->Load last portfolio file on load

Check that and it will always load.

Thanks,

My DRT tries to update itself to 2.0.5 and is stuck in an endless loop not being able to locate or overwrite some file. Where can I email you a screenshot of the error?

same thing happens with me as well...This is because of the path of the installation and the path that it is actually looking for...

Try installing it in C drive in program files and run the update...worked for me...

I run Windows Vista 64bit and the default path is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Domain Research Tool\DRT.exe"

I did not specify a different path. It's the software that assumes I am using a different location.

Luc, please provide a fix as the software is unusable to me at this moment.

I assume you are running Vista. I found exactly the same problem. I submitted a ticket but received no reply. Found that running DRT as administrator worked.

That's correct, simply run it as administrator (DRT.exe file properties -> Run as administrator). You only need to do this once. Note, running as admin and being logged in as admin and clicking on it are two different things

Vista has a lot of "security" features that break just about everything. I recently downgraded all office PCs back to XP (for free, thanks to microsoft) because Vista is an unbelievable piece of junk.

Gooster, I never received your e-mail. Possibly it was blocked by my spam filter which requires verification first time you e-mail me.

Thanks,
Luc

That didn't work, Luc.

Anyhow, I uninstalled the software, downloaded the new version and re-entered my serial number so we're all set.
