Other Apps Support (Deprecated)

Whenever I try to open an .avi file from my mp3 player, it says..."Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'XVID' (unkown)
VirtualDub requires a Video for Format(VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. Directshow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable."

How can I get around this?
I can't seem to open any avi file.

I tried going to "Help" (F1) in PDFTK Builder, but it says that it cannot find "pdftkbuilder.hlp". I went to the app directory and sure enough it was there. Could this be a "working directory" problem? BTW, I know I'm not the only one, I found with google others talking about this same issue using this portable version. Thanks.

Here you can post the list of apps you'd like PA to support
My list:
1.Gnumeric
2.ePSXe
3.Vidalia
4.Ubuntu

I've just experienced a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) while trying to burn a compilation using InfraRecorder 0.44.1_Rev_3 (more precisely, after InfraRecorder launched mkisofs).

I don't remember I ever had a BSOD on my system. Another DVD burning software installed on the portable drive works just fine.

After that, just for curiosity, I've installed the same version of InfraRecorder_Portable onto the host system (instead of the portable drive). Launched from there, however, the BSOD did not occur.

I think there's some performance issues with the NSIS System plugin and Windows Vista.

I really need Vista testers for this, but some XP machines are needed also as a baseline.

If you would like to help my testing, please download the zip file, and run each EXE. It should popup a dialog box in 10-20 seconds. During this time, could you open Task Manager and watch the CPU usage for the executable. Please report back the EXE you ran, the average CPU usage, and the time elapsed (from the dialog).

And would the Vista testers also say whether or not you have UAC on or off.

Thanks!!

Is nsExec.dll a self-mutating virus !!!

When I use PAM to launch WinMerge 2.8, my Comodo Security Firewall is very worried.
EVERY TIME it is worried.

When I use PAM to launch OpenOffice, Comodo never gives an alert.
It probably did give an alert last year when I first used it, but it honoured my request to REMEMBER and it has not troubled me since.

When I use PAM to launch WinMerge 2.8, my Comodo Security warns :-

1. Red Alert
Defense+ malware heauristic analysis has detected possible malware behaviour in
C:\Documents and Settings\Dad\Local Settings\Temp\nsi2F.tmp\ns30.tmp

I recently installed the Portable version of Winmerge 2.6.14 on my external USB Hard Drive.

I abhore the default configuaration when I launch it from the PortableApps.com menu.

It does what I want if I use Windows Explorer to select and double click
H:\PortableApps\WinMergePortable\App\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe

Before I knew of PortableApps, I INSTALLED Winmerge 2.6.12. on my Drive C:\, and spent a lot of time adjusting its configuration to meet my exact needs. I do not wish to repeat all that work again.

I have had a problem with "safely remove hardware" whenever I have been playing Jooleem. I keep getting told that the device cannot be stopped at present. This only occurs when I have been playing Jooleem, so I assume it is not shutting down completely. I do not want to remove Jooleem if I don't have to (it's the only game I have kept within PAM, although there are others on my stick. I have tried other sticks and have the same problem. Any ideas please?

Windows Command Prompt Default has copy and del as commands.
And I made some tools so it would like more like Linux.
How can I add the tools. For cmd?

Can that be done?

Cheers,
Robin

How on earth do I use Win SCP? I read the read-me, but I'm still stumped.
