FAST flash drive

Submitted by dchadwick on December 3, 2007 - 12:04am

Can anybody point me toward some good, fast USB keychain flash drives?

I'm currently using a really fast Samsung 1GB unit that works great, but when I tried to move over to a 2GB Lexar Firefly, I found that Firefox was unbearably slow. So slow, in fact, that the drive is basically useless for this purpose.

Unfortunately, there's no real way to compare most drives through online shopping, since they're all advertised as "high-speed USB 2.0". But we all know some are faster than others, right?

wrong layout ?

Hello, I have a Problem with the design of portable apps. When I install it on a stick or my local hard drive, it looks like this . (wait at least 10seconds!)

I have an nvidia GeForce 7650GS with the latest display driver and WinXP professional.
Does anybody know, why the layout is messy?

2 Odd Occurences?!?!?!?

OK, I am having a few odd issues that have shown to be related to or are resulting from the use of portable apps...

1. My laptop will not boot to the login screen unless whatever portable medium I am using is removed. It will boot fine when the SD card or USB key is completely disconnected from the computer, but if I forget to take it out, the computer will hang after the windows boot screen, but before the login screen until the portable device is removed. This only happens on my laptop and only ntil the device is removed.

Account Info Page Updates

Submitted by Patrick Patience on December 2, 2007 - 1:11am

I was just checking out my personal account page, and I saw John made some updates to it. The one big one I saw was the localization for your account, I'm pretty sure that's knew? Blum I also so he added some other choices to the 'Portable Device' section, and I was wondering if we could have more than one, cause then you could also see how many people use Portable Apps on more than one type of device.
