Occasionally when I am running the PortableApps platform off of my 500GB Toshiba Canvio Connect Portable Hard Drive, all of the apps will crash and display the following message in a balloon from the notification area:

Windows-Delayed Write Failed

Windows was unable to save all the data for E:/@BitMap. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

Taskcoach crashes when opening an existing file

Submitted by MobileUser on September 15, 2014 - 1:05am

I use TaskCoach on a daily basis and would like to thanks to your term providing this program.
This was a nice program until I upgraded it to 1.4.0 version.
Everytime I open an existing file in Chinese format it crashes.
There is no problems for other files in English format.
I have never had this problem.
It is fine if I load the same file with the version of 1.3.39
I believe that the there is a bug with the latest verion.
Can you please look into this issue? Thanks in advance.

[Fixed] PA.c Installer says 'not enough free space' when installing via platform to UNC path

Submitted by bamboo on September 11, 2014 - 8:25am

I am storing apps on a large NAS with lots of free space.
Several times I have seen this issue, where it is reported that the target device does not have sufficient space ... the current problem was with 'seamonkey.' ( I don't know how to paste the message into this note.) Other apps that download at the same time do update however.
I have tried the update of seamonkey by itself with the same resulting error.
Any suggestions?

Good app to put my computer to sleep at a scheduled time?

Submitted by trust on September 9, 2014 - 7:49pm

I could not really find what I was looking for, with the search.

I used Daxtar's Shutdown Timer so far but I have just discovered the sleep function does not work with newest Windows 7 updates. Or at least with my machine/the updates I added; instead of putting my computer to sleep it just logs off (then it runs the whole night; which I do not want).

The solution does not necessarily have to be portable; just more convenient than Windows 7's built-in solution.

Thanks in advance

bad new design

Submitted by Korg on September 5, 2014 - 5:28am

hello everybody...,

I`m using portable apps now for 5 years without any bugs and stuff like that and I really use it every day!

It always works flawless and I like it really much! Thanks for that! Smile

But dont get me wrong...dont you all agree with me... that the new launcher design(s) are totally shoddy!?

For me its like a disimprovement, sorry.

Hope that this will be fixed soon!

cheers Korg

Windows ME Compatibility

I just got a computer running Windows Millenium Edition and I have no install disks for a more recent operating system and it doesn't have an internet question. Before I set it up, I would like to know if I can run programs (specifically portable apps) that are compatible with Windows XP on it. If not normally, then can I use a crossover program like how you can run Windows programs on a Mac?
