Portableapps not working after install...DOS prompt comes up then disappears

I've installed portableapps on one of my flash drives and works beautifully but today I tried to install it on my 8gig flash drive (I'm using the lite install BTW) and it opens up after the install is done but once I eject the flash drive and reinsert it into my pc I am unable to open it. A DOS prompt comes up then disappears. I don't know why it's doing that. I double clicked the autorun settings and it's empty and the icon does not work. Any ideas what is happening? My flash drive is FAT32 formatted and it's 8gigs. Any help would be appreciated.

Lost Opera profile folder

Hello there!

It's not really a bug, but serve as example:
Yes, it's a bug.

When you download a program and you choose the option "open" instead of "save", the program will be downloaded and opened as it should be. But if you close Opera while the program is running, Opera Portable will not move your profile folder to "data", and your profile will be deleted.

I don't know if I was clear, my english is not good. Blum

Desktop Pictures

Submitted by bassrocks on November 12, 2010 - 10:11am

I was exploring a few weeks ago and I found coding that you could take your desktop picture with you, in that when you started the suite, it loaded your desktop picture and then removed it when you were done. I can't seem to find it anymore. Help?

I'm new to portable apps.. HI..

Portable apps has made me like my flashdrive 100 times more than ever.. It is so useful when you are working in a public computer.. Question: What is the most useful application on your flashdrive? Mines would have to be VLC, Utorrent, Frostwire, Peazip portable, Mozilla firefox, CCcleaner, google chrome. I don't really need Open office, but I want it in the drive anyways just incase other computers don't have microsoft office..
