[QUOTE="tfrumbacher, post: 1479274, member: 286581"] [b]Remove SpyroPortalDriver's automatic startup.[/b] The portal driver software for Skylanders uses MacOS's launchd system to start whenever someone logs in. You can remove the launchd entry from the system (without uninstalling the software from /Applications, so you can run it on demand) by launching /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and in the terminal window running the following command: If the portal driver is running when you issue this command it should stop. Then you need to remove the file /Library/LaunchAgents/SpyroPortalDriverDaemon.plist Removing SpyroPortalDriverDaemon.plist is all that is REALLY necessary, but the first command saves you from having to log out / log in to kill the software cleanly. This way, if you get the portal working, you can just launch it from applications when you're going to play, and not have manually stop it the rest of the time. [/QUOTE]
