General Discussion

Last night FirefoxPortable and GaimPortbale worked as good as they did the last 4 months...
But this morning neither of them wants to start: there is no welcome screen or picture but the windows error message that the program had to be closed.
The weird thing is that suddenly both programs don't work. I tried to use ThunderbirdPortable which is on the same FlashDrive but it doesn't work either. I tried to copy the FirefoxPortable folder to my HardDrive and start it there but that didn't work either.
Anybody has an idea where the error might be?

I did a movie of using camstudio and vlc from the pen drive I hope this is of use to guys.

Just like to give everyone a heads up that you might want to upgrade to Thunderbird 2.0 manually, as you probably won't get an auto-update alert.

Anyone aware of such a program? Basically a program that performs a similar role to hfnetchk/microsoft baseline scanner?

Thanks

Hey, i just bought a u3 drive, I decided to go with portableapps instead. I look up how to get rid of u3 system but keep the autorun system. so i replace the u3 iso with my custom one, and it worked. but when i plug it in, it reads the autorun then it brings up a "no disk" error. but if i hit continue it brings up my appmenu anyway. any ideas?.

I just made my Partition Magic 8.0 portable. However, whenever used in conjunction with the PortableApp's menu, the entire directory of files shows up in the list of applications. Is there a loader program I can use to link to PMagic.exe in a subfolder? This is what I am thinking:

Thumb:\PortableApps\PartitionMagicPortable\App\PMagic.exe
Thumb:\PortableApps\PartitionMagicPortable\LOADER.exe (points to PMagic.exe so all the files aren't shown in the PortableApps Menu)

This may sound stupid or not even possible but, is there a way to make your portable apps start automatically without the autrun menu. Our school on some of the computers has blocked that autorun startup menu. I have to take a long and complicated way around to get to my files. Is there a way to bypass autorun and still startup.

thanks in advance

Hi guys, great forum you got here! I have a quick question. I am wanting to set up a flash drive to run apps. The problem I am finding is when I install portable apps to the drive it works fine. If I take it to another computer, Windows may assign it a different drive letter then the apps dont work because the path is wrong. I want to set up my drive to run much like a normal desktop setting. I have two options the way I see it and was wanting feedback from you all on the subject.

Ok, Here's a thread where you can rate your flash drive(s) on a scale of 1-10, and list some of it's pros/cons.
(I just thought this might be interesting, and also informative for those who are looking to purchase a new USB drive)

My Flash Drive: (Name of Drive, with or without link to picture)

Rating: (1-10)

Mine is:

My Flash Drive: SanDisk Cruzar Micro

I've been wondering ever since this site started why you only support Microsoft Windows (and I've finally bothered to get myself a forum account). Thanks for offering a great service BTW.

It would really be useful, for Portable Apps where this is possible, to have an archive that includes the binaries for MSW, GNU/Linux and MacOS with shared settings.
