I installed the portable platform (just the menu and autorundata) I changed the icon to my own icon instead of the site icon and I cant get the menu to automatically open when I insert the drive.
This is what my autorun file looks like:
[quote]
[Autorun]
Open=StartPortableApps.exe
Action=Start PortableApps.com
ICON=memory card 2.ico
[/quote]
Can anyone help me make the portable apps menu automattically open rather than clicking it?

Well, why'd you change more things than the icon? RUN isn't a valid command for the Autorun.inf
Get rid of the [quote] and [/quote] tags and replace RUN with "open", that should work.
NO that didnt work it still just opens the drive window the menu doesnt pop up.
I changed the command because "open" wasnt working in the first place
Make sure you put quotes around the name for your icon. i.e.
Icon="my icon.ico""Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." - Rick Cook
The icon loads without the quotes but the portable apps menu doesnt automatcally launch I have to click on the exe file so the autorun defeats the purpose
Autorun on your PC was improperly disabled by some piece of software at some point. There are fixers online a few different places. Microsoft has one, too. Though after fixing it, you should disable CD autorun for security reasons (Sony rootkits, etc).

No it works on my psp and memory stick duos it just doesnt work on my one usb drive
The auto play window doesn't pop up it just opens the root directory of the drive and nothing I do make the portable apps suite autorun
the only changes i made to the autorun.inf was changed to label and icon from portable apps to my personnel label and icon
That's a setting on your PC. At some point, you or something set it to open Explorer and never ask again. IIRC, you can right-click on the drive in Explorer, select the AutoPlay tab and tell it to ask you every time.

Try changing it to:
Open=StartPortableApps.exe
Action=Start PortableApps.com
Label=PortableApps.com
Icon=\memory card 2.ico
Put you icon in your base directory (the same place as StartPortableApps.exe) You can set it to hidden if you don't like seeing it there.
If you want PAM to be executed when you click on it from "My computer" you can use the following in your autorun.
Though the above Only works on windows 2000 to xp i think, But the only problem with the above is that you cannot directly access your drive by clicking on it cause it will execute whatever you told it to. So you would need to right click on your drive name and hit explore to access your drive.

The included autorun.inf works with all current Windows variants without modification. If it doesn't work on your system, something is wrong with your autoplay setup. You can try one of the fix utilities above.
