Forum TimeStamps Off ??

I just posted a comment about 5 minutes ago, the tracker [and comment itself] show it to be an hour and 5 minutes old. I also noticed this earlier.

so I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the forum servers time. If so I guess this could have something to do with DST switch. Today was the first time I noticed this.

There's a bug in Mines-Perfect when: if you select a huge quantity of columns/rows/mines (like 256), Mines-Perfect suddenly stops working with an error -- giving the same error and closing when you try to start it again.

Solution: Just delete \PortableApps\Mines-PerfectPortable\Data\settings\mineperf.ini

Hey Guys,

I know this topic may have been brought up before...but i was just wondering if AVG Free Antivirus could ever be made portable, as i have always thought AVG Free does a better job than Clamwin.

Thanks in advance for any replies or suggestions.

What's the history of JauntePE? Seems so mysterious. Why many talk about it so much?

What's going on with SourceForge lately? It's really annoying... when I click on an SF download link (like the one to download TBP), it first takes me to the SF main page. I then have to hit back and click the download link again to get the download...

It doesn't seem to be specific to PortableApps.com; I've seen it happen on other sites, too. But it seems to happen a lot more often with the download links here...

Hi, i was fiddling round on my computer the other day, and i found out that if i dragged a program folder from Program Files in Windows (Safari for example) into my PA folder on my portable apps drive, that it would launch off the PA menu, and would work 'portably' on another computer. From doing this, i managed to get Safari to work portably on any computer.

Would this be completly portable? or would it leave files on the users computer?

Hi All,

I have a peculiar behaviour going on when installing the portable apps.
I normally use Firefox, Sundird, Sumatra PDF, CalmWin, 7Zip, AbiWord, VLC and a few other apps.

When I install all of them to a single folder

F:\Portable Apps
They share the common folders APP, Data and Others. There was no issue with the previous installations, they all shared the resources properly.

Okay when i download the app and install it to the usb is that all i have to do

well heres my question

"DO I NEED TO HAVE THAT PROGRAM INSTALLED ON MY SYSTEM SO WHEN I CLICK IT OFF MY USB TO WORK"

or can i have the program just in my USB and it will work no matter if i have the program installed on my pc?

I'm sure we already know about this, maybe.
But I got a newsletter from US-CERT,
United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team.
And I don't know maybe this is a heads up for some,
maybe some coder/programmer would find a way to prevent this
whatever.
I just thought it is interesting and noticed if you scroll down that
you will see ( Mozilla has released Firefox 2.0.0.18, Firefox 3.0.4, and SeaMonkey 1.1.13 to address multiple vulnerabilities.).
This place releases something new every day.

1) To run the apps does my usb stick have to be in all the time for the program to work?

2) Can it overheat aka the usb flash drive?
