Hello Guys,

I am facing with my external hard drive, the drive is appearing in the system but don’t gave access over it. Can anyone please help me out from this problematic situation?

For years I've used dsCrypt on my flash drives. It's incredibly fast and simple to use. Until
recently, dsCrypt was all I needed.

I want to protect a couple of very important business related folders. dsCrypt cannot encrypt
folders, so I need an app that will lock a folder with password protection.

After a quick Google search, I found Cr!ptAES. The reviews say it can encrypt files and folders.
I cannot change hundreds of filenames, so Cr!ptAES must prevent a folder from opening without
a password. Is that what it does?

Let's say you install portable app XYZ using the PA Launcher.

Then you close the PA Launcher.

Is it now possible to run app XYZ without first running the PA Launcher, and have app XYZ clean up after itself?

Or is it necessary to launch app XYZ from the PA Launcher so that the cleanup process takes place after the app is done running?

TIA.

I was wondering if there was interest in PortableApps.com using its LinkedIn page the way we use our Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ social media to handle new app announcements, platform release announcements, and significant news posts. We have an unused LinkedIn page here we could use: https://www.linkedin.com/company/portableapps

Would this be of use to you?

This is an issue on my side, trying to run the new PDF-X Editor. I have successfully used the PDF-X Viewer.
As a note, this problem occurs with the publisher's original software as well.
The issue seems to be the DLL that is being used as a call from the exe - the problem is that the program does not launch. The executable (PDFXEdit.exe) may sometimes appear TaskMgr before the process terminates w/o any log present in event viewer. PDF-X Viewer did not have this issue because it uses an exe file as the main program.

Hi,

The file is fusion.dll and is part of the CDeX app.

Norton just hit Wise Registry Editor with Ransom virus warning. I was able to stop it from loading but am not really sure it's a virus. Norton has been giving me a lot of false positives lately.

But this was an update from this morning that portable apps downloaded to my computer so I wanted to get the warning out there so you can check your files to make sure it's actually a virus or not.

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Saghalie

I am trying to use user-defined manifest files with a couple of Portable Apps, but I don't get them to work.
