General Discussion

I have half my USB drive as a normal FAT32 partition and the other half as a TrueCrypt partition. When I have the TC partition mounted and leave the computer on at night (for example) I almost always wake up to a blue screen. This seems to happen more frequently when I leave Portable Firefox running (it's on the TC partition), though it happens in other circumstances, too.

Any idea what's going on here?

Is it possible to create a partition in my USB Drive
1) without losing the data
or
2) without caring abt the data
Please advise

I am using a lot of freeware & open source tools. Most times I prefer the portable version because I can use them on my own comp, on the go and after crashing and reinstalling windows. Most of the smaller tools don`t have it`s own updater.

UpdateStar is quite good but it only works for installed and registered programs.

I also tested secunia psi beta, it searches the hole disk, but after two hours of scanning it doesn`t show many any non up to date versions and the beta is really kinda unstable.

Just thought I would let people know about this. I have (or had) PortableApps installed on my OCZ Rally2 4Gig USB drive for about two months, and then files started disappearing. I checked with the manufacturer of my drive and they suggested I reformat it and start from scratch. Well, I did, and since then no files have disappeared.

Hi

I am thinking about this PortableApps.com thing
I use it on a 4 Gb usb drive.
Now I have made all the apps translated into danish and I am wondering about one thing.

I saw this discussion: https://portableapps.com/node/4480
where a company will redistribute the portableapps.com along with some other software - but its missing one point.

Can I sell the package translated into danish and packed with the software the single user require ( from the whole suite to just a few apps)
off course the apps will be unmodified exept for translation.

Hello

When I first downloaded and installed the Lite version of PortableApps the launch menu would always pop up as soon as I inserted the USB into the computer. Subsequently I installed Roboform2go, and now Roborofm2go comes up as the first action, and the very useful PortableApps menu does not appear

How can I solve this?

thanks

PortableApps.com has reached it's 10,000th node! This node marks the memory of hundreds of duplicate posts, pointless support requests, and duplicate requests!

Go PortableApps.com!

The whole portable applications concept to me is brilliant. This site has contributed to this greatly, therefore my thanks.

There is just one big issue that has plagued this concept from the beginning, and that is the fact that relatively cheap flash-drives handle great numbers of small files like crap.

I want to intall a java runtime enviroment on my flash drive. I have no idea where to begin. i have read forums on it all day and i am still confused. im not sure if it is possible to run a JRE off a flash drive, even if it is only for the programs on the flash drive. does anyone know if it can be done? and how?
