Smithtech, Help!

Submitted by dragonmage on May 26, 2008 - 2:08pm

Smithtech , or anyone else who might know...

I have a 1GB Cruzer Micro that I had successfully changed the autorun drive to launch applauncher.exe . I decided to try and use the Portable Startup utility rather than applauncher. I made the iso installed it and now the autorun drive is no longer seen as a CD drive. Any ideas on how to fix that, or is it broken?

UPDATE: You can recover the CD partition by using the older LPinstaller and a custom iso. Smile

Launcher with backup functionality

It's always important to make backups of your files, we all know that. But I was wondering about this: sometimes when things don't go as planned there could be a slight change of losing some files when using an application. While often these ar just a few settings sometime this potentially could be more important.

Firefox lisensing

Firefox is open source, right? Then why are there so many licensing agreements? We use the company name and the phrase "portable edition" in the menu, we cannot remove auto update, the homepage can not be Portableapps.com by default, and third parties may not modyfy it. What is with that?

Forum Reorganization

I think it's about time we did a forum reorganization. Especially now that we're bring on more and more apps. The one forum per app model just won't work.

So, we're left with a decision.

One "PortableApps.com App Support" Forum - One big app support forum where people can ask questions.

Category Support Forums - Broken down by category based on our app categories (Accessibility, Development, Games, etc).

PAM 1.1, R30, R31?

Submitted by meep.com on May 23, 2008 - 2:32pm

I was just wondering, what are the benefits/drawbacks/differences of each. I am currently using R31, but I was wondering if I should go to R30 or PAM 1.1
I was just concerned that some of my configurations might be lost if I did change. Also, will my themes [for R31] work with the other ones?
Thanks
