Hi, when i installed the latest PA Platforf it came with a shortcut for the platform, for some reason this is not working for me. I have to go to J:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe just to launch it

Ok, I downloaded blender portable last night and it works on my computer. I took it to school to show my teacher what it is (since you can't download anything at school) and I was letting him do whatever with it and suddenly everything disappeared. He was doing something and everything went gray. You could still see the boxes for everything like the drawing area and menu area but there were no icons or anything. There just gray boxes were everything should of been. Is that the computers doing or the program?

Check for updates brought up a notification regarding the recently updated Google Chrome - 13.0.782.215. Clicking 'next' started the update but eventually I got a nastygram regarding the install, saying that it failed and suggested I try again. I did and got the same thing. Trying on a second external USB drive gave the same result.

Manually downloading the file and installing worked fine.

Hi,
1th - see https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#plugins. in list item 1 from *Flash Plugin* the link as an extension is not available. Please check.

PortableFreeware.com's user database was apparently hacked and posted online on July 5th and hacked again July 31st and posted online on August 23rd according to user posts in their forum and Twitter. Usernames, email addresses and password hashes (MD5) were apparently posted.

I am using 5PCs in paralell to work on. On all PCs the Data is kept in sync by Dropbox.

I am using Mozilla Thunderbird installed like:
D:\Dropbox\PortableApps.sync\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable
with the data in:
D:\Dropbox\Thunderbird-Daten.sync
with its subfolders:
email(at)gmx.net
anotheremail(at)gmx.net
.....
local Folders
profile

This setup is working fine on all PCs

When I have used Thunderbird on one PC I have to wait for the syncing done by Dropbox until I can start Thunderbird on another PC. That means checking the sync-state on all PCs befor using Thunderbird.

I haven't been around here in about 2 years, and I'd love to know what's changed, what's been added, et cetera since then.

How's everyone?

will portable apps run on a blackberry bold 9700 with os 6?

Hi
the problem: I've changed my PC hard drive and changed from Microsoft Office to Open Office and as I syncronisized iPhone contacts in MS Exchange there is my problem now: Does this exchange work in Open Office too? I think, I need some help, I'm not very expert yet. Thank you!
