I installed portable apps onto a portable hard drive with XP. At work it is a network with a Windows NT Operating Sytem and so it won't open at work. Is there anything I can do to change the settings to open it on NT.
Thanks

Window NT is to old, I suspect.
NT predates Win95 by 2 years. Most of these apps (the base versions) have started dropping support for Win95 operating system- so I'm not surprised if they've dropped Win NT operating system support.

And, one last thing. It is the time honored ritual to chide everyone who posts a question to use the search function at the top right corner. But, after searching myself, there's not much to be had. So, I'm not chiding you for not searching, just giving you the customary warning.

Thanks for the advice. I did look first and couldn't find anything to help me but appreciate what your saying. Thanks for the welcome.
I hope I didn't seem rude, I looked also, but there wasn't much to be had.
I only meant the search as a friendly warning.

if you are using 2000, XP or Vista then you are using NT, and there should be no reason that it shouldent work on NT4.
Win2k = NT 5.0
Win XP = NT 5.2
Win Vista = NT 6.0

Are you talking about the PAM, or have you tried all the Portable Apps too?

AFAIK, Win NT did not include USB connectivity support. Makes it kind of hard to use a thumb drive.
JK,
Welcome to PortableApps.com
He could try running them from the hard drive and see which ones still work. Many people here [yours truly
] do it that way.
and again, Welcome
Tim
Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
... for the welcome Tim.
I have been using Portable Apps for a while and have been talking it up to friends. Mostly just lurked in the forums.
I agree that putting it on the hard drive gets it onto NT, but probably has to be done by burning a CD.

Hi Tim,
Thank you very much for the welcome. I have to open the portable apps by right clicking and opening it that way.

Didn't NT 4 come out just before 98?
Wasn't NT 4 a major upgrade to the old NT code?
Wasn't 2000 built on most of the NT 4 code?
Wasn't there a USB update for NT4 SP6? (yes it was very flaky)
Been a looong time so my facts might be skewed which is why I am asking.

It won't open the application when i plug the USB in I have to right click and oprn it manually. It doesn't recognise the format when it is first plugged in.
If you can see the USB drive and open applications manually, you can be thankful. That's about all some of us get on later machines.
