wrong layout ?

Submitted by southbridge on December 2, 2007 - 1:31pm

Hello, I have a Problem with the design of portable apps. When I install it on a stick or my local hard drive, it looks like this . (wait at least 10seconds!)

I have an nvidia GeForce 7650GS with the latest display driver and WinXP professional.
Does anybody know, why the layout is messy?

2 Odd Occurences?!?!?!?

OK, I am having a few odd issues that have shown to be related to or are resulting from the use of portable apps...

1. My laptop will not boot to the login screen unless whatever portable medium I am using is removed. It will boot fine when the SD card or USB key is completely disconnected from the computer, but if I forget to take it out, the computer will hang after the windows boot screen, but before the login screen until the portable device is removed. This only happens on my laptop and only ntil the device is removed.

Account Info Page Updates

I was just checking out my personal account page, and I saw John made some updates to it. The one big one I saw was the localization for your account, I'm pretty sure that's knew? Blum I also so he added some other choices to the 'Portable Device' section, and I was wondering if we could have more than one, cause then you could also see how many people use Portable Apps on more than one type of device.

Need Email/Calandar app for Balckberry to replace Outlook

Submitted by Slip Mahoney on December 1, 2007 - 8:33am

I read that Thunderbird does not yet sync with Pocket PC.
I need Email/Calendar app for Blackberry to replace Outlook. Anything out there?

Of course, if there is a MS Guru out there that can solve the "runaway reminders" problem that the "cleanreminders switch" doesn't solve...that would work for me also.

Translation to german

Hey Smile

I'm a big fan of portableapps.com Wink And I want to show everyone how nice PortableApps are. Maybe you should think about providing a german (or other languages) translation of this site (with a languiag-choosing-menu on top of the site) as known of many other sites.

Portable Apps Launcher

Submitted by mjheagle8 on November 29, 2007 - 8:24pm

The portable apps launcher is including executables that I do not need or want on the list and excluding some I need. For example, I installed Opera USB and Portable apps put gsar.exe on the launcher list and not operausb.exe is there anything I can do to fix this?
