CD/DVD Imaging

Submitted by Jacob Mastel on August 11, 2007 - 10:13pm

Does anyone know of a free CD/DVD Image creator. The porpose is to create a image to be used for a virtual CD Drive. I don't really care if it's portable I just need it to be free. Any feed back would be greatly appricated. Smile

Regular .exe programs

Submitted by jordi.c on August 11, 2007 - 7:57am

Hello,

I can only install .paf.exe programs when I chose for "Install a New App".

I have Office 2007 (word,excel,powerpoint) in portable format, how can I add these executables so they are coming visible in the apps menu like Firefox Portable.

I also have other programs which are portable and would like to see in the list under FireFox is this possible?

On softpedia.com I downloaded foobar2000 portable, why cannot I install it like Firefox Portable.paf.exe (Options->Install a New App.)?

Does the portable apps suite run via USB on new Nokia E90 smartphone?

Submitted by martinlandau on August 10, 2007 - 7:49am

Hi,

I'm considering purchasing a new Nokia E90 but wanted to understand if the portable apps suite would be fully compatible / able to perform if used via USB and the mini_USB connector. The utility of the phone would be greatly enhanced if I could use the same suite between laptop & phone.

Does anyone have any personal experience in this area or know of any online data that may help?

Cheers.

Faulty downloads from mirrors

Submitted by neilav on August 10, 2007 - 2:43am

Topic intensions: Discuss why any downloads from mirrors may not work and how they can be fixed.
Say a download is the wrong size, did the problem occur when the file was uploaded or downloaded, does this happen when downloading from a specific mirror, how many times did you try to download the file etc.

So here it goes: Download PortableApps_Suite_Standard_1.0.exe (89.5MB); attempts 3 with sizes 27, 42, 25MB; mirror Unknown (sorry), download manager firefox.

I’m going to try different mirrors.
