Using on Computers without Admin Authority

Submitted by wcameron on March 18, 2007 - 1:17pm

I'm new to Portable Apps and I'm experimenting with a few Portable options from Portable Apps to Ceedo and U3. I installed Portable Apps to my thumb drive and it works fine on my personal computers, but when I try to connect to a hotel business center with computers that are more locked down, I can't get it to start up. Any ideas? I get a message that there has been an error and windows explorer needs to restart.

Portable Apps Menu

Submitted by frankswalker on March 18, 2007 - 6:21am

I downloaded the Base edition to my flash drive and then downloaded several portable apps to my desktop. I then installed them on my flash drive. None of them appear on the menu. What am I doing wrong. I didn't install them using the "install a new App" option. FAQ says something about directories but its Greek to me. Can anyone help.

Which AntiVirus do you use and why?
Personally I use ESET NOD32 because it got some excellent reviews.
It seems quite a few people use Avast, how good is their product?
I used Symantec for years, but their products have been going down hill the past couple years.
