For a free program that allows me to control other computers on mai internal network via an on-screen window??? I looked into Synergy, but This doesn't help me when I can't see the monitor of the other PC I am controling.

Flash drive is there, but invisible on the machine(almost)

I have been using a PNY Mini-Attache drive, 512mb, on my work computer for some time now, to take files home to work on, and to use the portable apps on it.
Today I inserted it, it beeped, but I did not get the dialog box that asks me what I want to do, and the drive doesn't show up in Windows Explorer.

How to stop Internet Explorer Potential Security Risk alert

Submitted by someoneabc on April 19, 2007 - 7:20pm

Hey all,
Sorry, but this is not about PortableApps, just something that is bugging me sooo much I had to get help. Every time I try to right-click on a group of files/folders on the network, I get this Internet Explorer Security alert.

See this screencast.

Thanks a bunch!

BTW I did that screencast with CamStudio Portable, thanks for making that.

USB Drive worries

Submitted by mathechew on April 17, 2007 - 11:41pm

Hello,

I've been reading in some of the app descriptions about writes killing your disk over time, and I believe I've scared myself over nothing.

Should I be worried about my drive dying from writing to the disk to much, or does that take a long time?

Thanks,

MAT
