General Discussion

My device is a Pretec i-Disk Bulletproof 16GB and my PC is running on Windows 7 (64-bit).

First I downloaded PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_1.6 on my PC and then installed it as instructed on my USB-device. This worked as intended and by runnin the program I got the "start menu" screen as I should.

Hi!

I am writing this in general forum because I couldn't find one for DOSBox Portable.

Here is a problem that I have discovered. I am trying to play Amulets and Armor using DOSBox Portable, and there is no sound.

When I use DOSBox directly (Apps\DOSBox\dosbox.exe), there is sound.

In both cases, SoundBlaster is detected.

This happens with Amulets and Armor, but not with many other games (like Tyrant, PC-MAN, Alley Cat etc.)

Kindly ask if any more information is needed, since I am a newbie...

Regards

I saw this on lifehacker, and thought you folks might be interested in it.

Panda will create a password protected autorun.inf file so viruses cannot modify it.

I don't know how well this works, or weather I could screw up portableapps as I use linux and haven't tested. But its something to look into, and maybe even make a portableapps spinoff of it?

Hey,

I've been using the site and its apps for a while and want to firstly say thanks. I have a 16Gb Kingston DataTraveller that has been travelling around with me for a few months. Everything was going fine until a few days ago after connecting the OS can't read the filesystem.
Formatting is not an issue as I've been uploading periodic backups to my own webspace. However, I can't format the disk without administrator privileges using standard windows means (from the dialogue that prompts after a failed read or in console). No permissions for disk manager.

is there any password protection apps

Can i change portableapps menu, or is there away to organize it. For example all of openoffice/pdf programs in program group called >Office. Something like this:

What's stopping us from using a [Solved] prepending so that people know what needs to be solved and people searching will know where to look?

Hello everyone,
I downloaded the suite and I was wondering if you can include other portable software that does not have the extensions. paf and if so how.

Thanks in advance.

What is the proper way to grab the audio track directly from Youtube videos with free software? Preferably without decoding/encoding. I want to listen to them on my portable music player.

I guess I shall do it with Audacity? But I will need to install a codec for that too.

I can download the videos from Youtube by the Firefox plugin Flashgot. It saves files in *.flv. Is it the native format or is it a container?

Ps. I pressed "Mark all topics read" by accident. How to mark them again unread?
