General Discussion

Hi all,

I've using Ceedo and then someone pointed me out to "PortableAPPS" and from all the reading and screenshots etc... It looks and sounds great! But I've downloaded it and cannot for the life of me install it!
I've tried three different USB Sticks brand and non-brand. On two of them the install completes but the app does not run! With the following Error message:- "The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. CS:057a: IP:0100 OP:ff ff ff ff ff Choose 'Close' to terminate application."
On the other the installation freezes on 43% for ever!

I've tried copying the patch on top but still nothing.

I get the following error message listed below:

"The exception unknown software exception (0x0eefade) occurred in the application of locateion 0x7c59b3f."

Also, get this error message:

“Exception EOSError in module PortableAppsMenu.exe at 0000DA65.
System Error. Code 87.
The parameter is incorrect.”

Please advise further how to resolve this issue.

Chris

Hello,
Im mainly using my portableapps suite on a system with restricted privillages, and there are only a few icons that can go in the system tray.
When you launch a program, it automatically minimizes to the system tray, so the only way to kill it is by using Process Explorer (task manager is sometimes disabled)
Can you either allow the option of making it not minimize to the tray, and it stay on the taskbar, or add a shortcut to make it open again? Or Both?
Thanks.

Is there a reason the zip downloads were removed from the app pages? Were they little used, and deemed unnecessary? I liked them.

I'm trying to get the Kingston u3 1GB USB flash drive to work on my windows 98SE laptop.

None of these drivers are working for me ...

What am I gonna do?

Glanced at new posts, checked pstart (no new version yet) for the first time in a few months.

Just curious if there is a simple way (i don't want to write an code to save me 3 clicks) to kill all programs with a Pstart exit.

Perhaps a program that kills the 3 programs I have running? Then I have the safely_remove dll shell autorun on pstart shutdown.

Anyone have such a program, and/or a better simple solution?

Does anyone know if its possible to run AutoHotKey from a USB Flash Drive?

I am fascinated by portable applications and especially the application suite. The Word says that you should not remove the USB drive until the light stops flashing, mine never stops, if via the task bar it says can't stop, try again later. Later it is the same so I just pull the plug and so far all is well. What is the problem? how can I make the light go out?

After installing the PortableApps suite (I love it by the way), when browsing My Computer in explorer my USB drive is called 'PortableApps (I:)' and has the PortableApps arrow icon. I'd like to be able to change both the icon and the name.

If I go into the drive's properties the name can be altered but it doesn't change the name in explorer. I'd also prefer to have either the default USB drive icon or even better, be able to customize the icon to something of my own choosing. I was wondering if this was possible.

Thanks
