Submitted by exus69 on May 15, 2012 - 1:58am

This bug report is a duplicate of #28715.

Hello,

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit)

Portable Apps version: 10.0.1

Device: 4GB USB Drive

Cannot open On-Screen Keyboard Portable. The logo comes and goes away but nothing loads onto the screen. Rest all apps are opening without any problems. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but the problem persists. Tried opening it using the option "Run As Administrator" as well but to no avail.

Please help.

Thoughts on dropping Frets on Fire

Just wondering if there are any opinions on dropping Frets on Fire from our list of supported apps. It's long since abandoned (2008) and doesn't work on Windows 7. There is a mod called FoFix which does work on Windows 7, but it's near-impossible to use without reading quite a bit first and it, too, is abandoned as a 4.0 Alpha 1 (2010). Thoughts? Anybody still use it?

Encryption for menu or individual apps.

idea: Encrypting portable apps menu or individual apps for security and protection.

The other day i was thinking what would happen if i lost my portableapps flash drive. all my accounts and user settings would be open for anyone to use.

my ideas are to have.

  1. password protection: option to setup password protection in the settings, with encryption for extra extra protection.
  2. first boot login: nice window prompting to put password to unlock menu or protected apps for that session.

Portable Apps run from Local C Drive?

Submitted by PortableDave on May 9, 2012 - 11:23am

Can Portable Apps programs be run from Local Disk (C:) in Program Files?

I've been running the Portable Apps Maxthon browser for a couple of days. So I decided to download the regular Maxthon browser so I could spend more time to get familiar with it without turning my thumbdrives into toast due to excessive use. Everything was fine on the first day, the second day I ran the portable to change some settings I had learned & after removing it from the computer I started the standard Maxthon.
