General Discussion

I've noticed within the last week that my connections to ircq.net from pidgin are refused. I do not have that problem with MIRC. Any one else experiencing this? Any work around?

Thanks
Thom

My device is a Pretec i-Disk Bulletproof 16GB and my PC is running on Windows 7 (64-bit).

First I downloaded PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_1.6 on my PC and then installed it as instructed on my USB-device. This worked as intended and by runnin the program I got the "start menu" screen as I should.

Hi!

I am writing this in general forum because I couldn't find one for DOSBox Portable.

Here is a problem that I have discovered. I am trying to play Amulets and Armor using DOSBox Portable, and there is no sound.

When I use DOSBox directly (Apps\DOSBox\dosbox.exe), there is sound.

In both cases, SoundBlaster is detected.

This happens with Amulets and Armor, but not with many other games (like Tyrant, PC-MAN, Alley Cat etc.)

Kindly ask if any more information is needed, since I am a newbie...

Regards

I saw this on lifehacker, and thought you folks might be interested in it.

Panda will create a password protected autorun.inf file so viruses cannot modify it.

I don't know how well this works, or weather I could screw up portableapps as I use linux and haven't tested. But its something to look into, and maybe even make a portableapps spinoff of it?

Hey,

I've been using the site and its apps for a while and want to firstly say thanks. I have a 16Gb Kingston DataTraveller that has been travelling around with me for a few months. Everything was going fine until a few days ago after connecting the OS can't read the filesystem.
Formatting is not an issue as I've been uploading periodic backups to my own webspace. However, I can't format the disk without administrator privileges using standard windows means (from the dialogue that prompts after a failed read or in console). No permissions for disk manager.

is there any password protection apps

Can i change portableapps menu, or is there away to organize it. For example all of openoffice/pdf programs in program group called >Office. Something like this:

What's stopping us from using a [Solved] prepending so that people know what needs to be solved and people searching will know where to look?

Hello everyone,
I downloaded the suite and I was wondering if you can include other portable software that does not have the extensions. paf and if so how.

Thanks in advance.
