Game/application launcher question

Submitted by Hansj on December 10, 2012 - 5:22am

3 main problems with having a game on portable device:

  • Gameplay is saved on C drive in some dark location
  • The game requires data reckoned in the registry to run
  • The game requires .Net, directX 9.0c or physX which not all public PCs have preinstalled

These problems can usually be fixed manually:
SavedGames folder can be redirected with a symbolic link to your portable device, so you take them with you.

hello!

i have set Firefox to open MAILTO: links with Thunderbird (to the relevant Options entry)

when i click a mailto link in my portable firefox, while thunderbird is not running, i am asked to create a new account in thunderbird for newsgroups, instead of composing a new email

when i click a mailto while thunderbird is running, it correctly opens a compose new email window

any idea?

Hi.
This is happening to me only when moving or installing an app on a external drive.

For example:
- Install Firefox Portable on your hard disk.
- Run it and close it.
- After that copy it to your external drive and run it. The first time you do it all should be normal, but if you run it one more time it starts as the first time. It also asks me to predeterminate the browser, something that shouldn't happen.

The same is happening with Opera, but not with Google Chrome. You can also test it installing them directly on your external drive.
