Hello,

This is the wife of Les. I have logged in with my user name but when I do, I get the info of JJ (using just the initials of the real name, from the F Islands - which is not my location.) Something wrong here

Greetings,

My wife registered me. I am able to login from my computer. She cannot login as me from her computer. She then registered (from her computer) under her own name and cannot login from her computer.

1. She can login as me from "my" computer, she cannot from hers.

2. She can login with her registered name and password from my computer but the information she gets is someone else's location (i.e. she is getting someone elses information?) She cannot login from her computer.

The bottomline is there is something wrong with forum logins/registrations. Some wires appear to be crossing. There is more but this is enough for now...

Any suggestions for a portable screen capture utility other than MWSnap?

Does anyone know of a good notepad-come-outliner. Something similar to Keynotes that will run from a USB.

Cheers.

It looks as if the portable application world is increasing in popularity extremely. I was given the 1 GB Lexar JumpDrive Traveler as a gift recently. You can see it online at http://www.lexar.com/jumpdrive/jd_trav.html. Its fairly interesting... It has a program called "Traveler.exe" on it. When you run the program it lets you start "portable" version of IE, Outlook Express, and a Sync application. When you run IE from the traveler program, It starts up IE and its a fairly default version. It also creates a folder on the drive entitled "My Settings" which contains various IE settings (bookmarks and what not) that you would normally find in the Documents and Settings folder on the local machine.

This maybe something that you should try if your useing firefox or pff.

Hi

I have followed the advice of others and have placed a JRE on my USB, just in time as my current desktop only has 1.3 !

For most of my apps (datastudio & freemind) I simply create a batch file which hard codes the relative path to the java.exe and this works a treat.

Two questions:

1)
When I do this I end up with 1 dos window and 1 app window, is there any way I can get the dos window to "go away" leaving my application running. On *nix I would simply tell it to run in the background.

2)
The batch file approach does not seem to work with RSSOwl, I get "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java"

In IE6 (I'd use Firefox, but it's a crappy school computer), the mini images on the forum (read icon, unread icon, smileys) appear and then just vanish -- they load, and then one by one disappear down the page.

What's going on?!

Since there's no off-topic forum, I'll post this here...

I have to leave for a while (long story), so I won't be able to do much of anything for at least a month...

See you all (but not that soon, I'm afraid)!

OK, I'm a newbie at this PA stuff, so please forgive me if I belabor the obvious.

My interests in programs on a stick is primarily for computer service. Instead of installing Powerdesktop, Aida32, an AV, etc etc, I want to run it from the stick. My secondary purpose is to have some photos and mpgs on the stick for sharing purposes ("Hey, I just happen to have movies of the grandkids in my pocket!")

I stumbled on U3 and was all excited until I discovered the premium in flash drive cost and alleged performance issues.

About simultaneously, I discovered this website and Ceedo. My "flash drive" of the moment is a 512mb CF card in an USB adapter. I've ordered a 2gig real one. My OS is 2K with SP4. I have downloaded Ceedo, some of the apps, and PA apps and Pstart. My observations:
