I need help.

At home, I do not have an Internet connection. At home, I have two computers, one with Ubuntu and one with Vista.

I previously had my portable apps on a 1 GB flash drive. I recently bought a 4 GB Cruzer Micro.

It has U3 on it, but because I had Vista and Ubuntu at home, I didn't realize it.

I transfered all of my portable apps onto this flash drive.

Now I am at school and the only thing that shows up on explorer is a U3 cd drive, which doesn't work.

How can I reclaim my flash drive?

the portable apps menu to work with shortcuts and .bat files?

I want to use the menu at work but there are some apps that are on the network so we only have shortcuts or .bat files linking to them. I have tried to play around the get them to work but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

Today it occurred for the second time so I thought I'd mention it.
After closing Gimp, my Firewall said PAM wanted to contact 224.0.0.22.

Anyone had the same???Ideas???Hints???

Notepad2 2.0.15 was just released. It now stores information in an INI file.

Should be very portable now!

I searched and couldn't find this noted.

I just tried installing all the WINE on Linux supported Apps, and they all installed VERY fast INSIDE VIRTUAL PC.

OpenOffice.org installed in about a minute on my Ubuntu 6.10 Virtual PC Machine.

I have PC Tools Firewall Plus installed and it won't allow me to access the internet using Firefox Portable or to update ClamWin. I can turn the firewall off and everything works fine, and everything works fine on my PC at my job. I'm sure it's a setting in Firewall Plus I need to correct. Does anyone know what settings within the firewall I need to adjust? I get no logs in the firewall and it doesn't give me any popups asking if I want to allow or disallow anything when I try and update ClamWin or use Firefox Portable. Thanks.

Please don't yell at me. I have searched the forum and read just about everything that I've found but I've yet to really see an answer for my question.

I am just a tad paranoid when it comes to my thumbdrive and portable storage even more so with the increasing size of them. I use and live by TrueCrypt at home but I can't use it at work due to not having admin rights. Does anyone know of any encryption software that works like TrueCrypt without having admin rights? I'd like to be able to place everything in an encrypted file including all of the portable apps and run them from there.

Just interested.

All Icons in the left part of the menu (links to apps) are showing the default windows icons, no matter what machine I run PA at. Is there any solution to this ? System is running XP SP2 German, latest updates.

I found this on Sourceforge.net and it had a .paf before the .exe and I was curious as to why its not listed on this site? All the stuff here has .paf to be compatabile with the launcher that can be found here.
