...I think it is safe to say I was a fan of PortableApps until the end. Not that I'm not now, but it seems like the project is kinda dead.

Google Chrome Portable - Flash buttons are not working

Submitted by hkBattousai on September 8, 2010 - 9:21am

I'm using the version 5.0.375.99.

I'm using Google Chrome for Facebook. I can successfully start playing Facebook videos. But as soon as the video starts, I can't click pause button, can't seek video position, and can't adjust volume. None of the buttons are working.

How can I solve this?
What do you guys experience, do you have the same problem?

Using Portable Apps for e-exams?

Submitted by AU2010gu on September 1, 2010 - 10:34am

We are planning to do e-exams on places where there are computers but we do not know for sure if there are LANs in the exam rooms
One way is to have the invigilator bring exam SW on a usb, one for each student/PC, let the student run the exam and take back the usb, now with the student answers as well.
My questions are:
- Is it possible to load the usb with an exam SW application and an answer file to be filled in by the student?

Run-As-Administrator rights for Portable Apps

Submitted by John Wayne Goodin on August 31, 2010 - 6:50am

I'm running Windows 7 32-Bit on my new laptop and have problems launching most portable apps regardless if they come from here or are other portable apps.

If I do a standard startup they claim I don't have rights to use the registry. I have to right click and choose Run-As-Administrator.

The program does launch but shows noting. I have to kill the process in 'Task Manager' manually.
