General Discussion

I load Chrome and it opens full window, but if I load a second instance, it only opens half window and I always need to press maximize window icon.

Any fix or solution?

I want to make my apps portable.So I have tried many softwares to make application portable such as Vmware thinapp,Cameyo,Evalaze and many more.

As a newcomer, I have just installed PortableApps to a USB flash drive together with some of my favourite apps.

When I plug in the drive, Windows 7 thinks it just contains pictures for some reason and only gives me two options: "Import Pictures and Videos" or "Open folder to view files". Is there anything I can change on the drive to force Windows to autorun the Start.exe program?

PS: I did a search on 'autorun' first (of course!), but didn't find anything relevant.

Not that anybody can really do anything about it, but someone put a virus into my computer through this game. I'm pretty sure someone hacked the chat module of the server I was on. I lost the whole hard drive.
WARNING: The chat module is insecure.

I have been trying to find a method to search the forum by the date topics were posted.Is there some advanced search option I have overlooked?

Regards.

Thered is a forum in Irfanview site but the problem I am facing in portable version is not resolved.

*************
I sumitted a problem of not opening the 2nd instance. The Admin told me to unclick Property / Start-stop Tab/ Open only 1 instance radiobuttn.

It worked but only 2 instances were opened maximum.

I installed normal version. It opened any number of instances.

The zip file does not create its own folder ie 'FocusWriter ...'
Or
The file be converted to " .paf.exe" format.

NB:

On this page all the help links do not open in New-Tab or new window which are problem to completeting the post.
In all discussion groups I have participated till now all the supporting links open in new window.

Hi, I am wondering what would be the best USB drive for use with portable apps. I am using a Sandisk Cruzer Contour which when bought was a very fast drive, but i am guessing it has been since overtaken by newer and faster drives.

The problem i have is that when ever i am using a browser in portable apps the performance can at times be a bit sluggish.

I don't want to spend a lot on a drive s it would only be for PA, but performance is essential.

Cheers in advance

运行一段时间后就不时报错，系统WINDOWS7sp1，诸位有无同样问题？

I happened to drop by the CamStudio website http://camstudio.org/ and found this link on their page stating that there are fake versions of Cam Studio running around with malware due to a recent hacking of their page and sourcefourge which is re-directing users to download infected software, http://camstudio.org/blog/removing-malware-camstudio, well i downloaded camstudio from portable apps, so I dont know if by chance i would be infected with this malware, bu
