General Discussion

Hi, I've been using PortableApps for a couple of months now and wanted to add advocacy buttons (similar to the one for Firefox 2 at the bottom of these forums) to my email signature and blog and couldn't find one anywhere. The closest I could get was a simple rectangular image that someone obviously just cropped from the PortableApps site's banner.
Has anyone made any other images for that purpose? Specifically something close in shape and size to the FF one?

When I use my flash drive with PortableApps on my Desktop PC, The menu looks just fine. But when I use it on my laptop (both using Windows XP) then the menu shows up like this http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b338/JimboJangles/ProtableAppsError.jpg
Any Help?

Does anybody know any portable analogue of this program, that gives the ability to control remote computer via web?

Looking forward to more creative Themes for the PA menu. Have customized a couple for my own use via Photoshop. Would like the ability to change menu text color if possible as it would give me more background color combination choices. Keep up the good work and thanks.

This is my first post. Any help would be appreciated.

I use my Kingston USB drive with Portable Apps to run Thunderbird and Firefox.

I{ll use them for a few minutes. Then I have to leave so I quit all appliacations and the Portable Apps application. But I can{t eject the drive yet because data is being written back to the drive. The little LED on the drive blinks for 4 full minutes before Windows says it{s safe to remove it.

It seems like each time I use the drive, it takes a few seconds longer to quit.

Hi all,

firstly, thanks a million to the portable apps creator(s), fantastic tool which I can no longer live without

My issues, are as follows:

* I have downloaded a couple of new portable app menu themes, how can i install these? I searched the files and located (under portable apps-portableappmenu-) an icons folder, however no theme folder....??

Greetings all, just found this handy little package. Right darn clever too. But you don't seem to have many 'user' posts, just 'developer' types from what I've seen.

Finding it very handy as I'm a serious amateur photog and travel to Rally events. This lets me take my Apps with me, download from the camera, store and edit pix and email them via cyber cafes to websites and publishers. Added gimp for serious editing and it all fits onto a 30 gig laptop harddrive in a USB casing. Plenty of room for pix.

Can anybody tell me how safe it is using the application suite and portable programs form a usb stick in a cybercafe...

What can i do to protect myself when using public computers....

Cotton wool....flame thrower......

Thanks for any offers of help.

I installed tremulous to the drive and when I went to the menu, it would not run. I get this error:

tremulous 1.1.0 win_mingw-x86 Feb 28 2006

Current search path:

When I launch it directly from the drive, it works.
