Ok, so a while back I purchased what was advertised as a 32 gig SD on Ebay. It turned out NOT to be 32gig even though it appeared to be. It had been formatted in a way that made it appear to be 32 gig but would corrupt the data. Thanks to paypal's buyer protection I got my money back.

Is there any way to find out what the card was originally made to be and properly format it?

Even if it is really a lot smaller I can put it to use. Or should I just pitch it?

Where do the updates go?
After recieving updates, installer kick in. Unable to install,
I'd like to know where updates went so I can copy to drive.:)

Do you know of any portable program to block access to pen drive or external hard drive, look for a good time on the internet and not found any.

I will have to plug the flash drive with Portableapps to an infected computer. How do I protect the flash drive from being infected?
Thank you.

I've pushed an update to Chrome Dev and posted it to the Chrome Portable homepage. As this isn't a supported release really (it's dev branch so basically pre-alpha level software), it doesn't warrant a homepage announcement. However, I have it in the updater so anyone running Chrome Dev and the latest Platform beta will see the update and have it installed.

I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on any other ways to approach this. Of course, Chrome Dev is a special outlier case, so it doesn't really apply to much else.

Has anyone created any PortableApps.com "portableapps_wallpaper.bmp" wallpapers for the wallpaper swapper?

I'm sure by now the more creative of you have created some PortableApps.com themed wallpapers for the Wallpaper switcher.

Would any of you like to share?

I cannot remember what version it was, but I know I was, at one point, able to organize my portable apps into folders. Such as all Office type apps into an office folder, all game apps into a games folder, etc.

What happend to that and when will it be reinstituted?

Just a reminder that in accordance with Microsoft's software lifecycle, all support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2 end today. That means that neither Windows 2000 nor XP Service Pack 2 will receive any further bug fixes or security updates as of right now.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 users should immediately upgrade to Service Pack 3, which is a free upgrade.

Songbird Portable is a Web browser too! Shouldn't it be in the Internet Section of the Applications too?

I am currently experimenting with the Development Test Resease of the Portable Calibre App.

It is using version 0.7.0 of the regular Calibre software. The latest version of Calibre is 0.7.8. Significant changes appear to have been made. I use 0.7.8 on my desktop computer.

My question: can I safely update the software on the thumb drive? How is the best way to do that? Should I use the update function in the launcher or try to download the .msi file and use that? How do I use the .msi updater if that is the best approach.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
