I've just got myself a U3 flash drive. I know it is possible to uninstall U3, is it possible to reinstall it if I decide I prefer it?

Thanks

about two months ago, I installed the base suite on my usb mp3 player (GenX 256MB USB 1.1 mp3 player). then I added the applications I wanted to use one by one. at first few days everything was ok altough apps. work a bit slow. but then when I plugged my usb, windows XP didn't recognize it. I think I had plugged it out while some apps. on it were still working. now it is useless. I have tried it in four different machines, (even on a mac!). I reinstalled its drivers from cd (there is no firmware update). nothing worked.

For those of you who are not familiar with 'Mobility Email'

"...The Mobility Email client is largely based on the same Mozilla source code used to make Mozilla Thunderbird".

"...The Mobility Email client uses a version of Enigmail OpenPGP as its OpenPGP encryption front-end, and GnuPG as its encryption backend".

At a glance, (from a security/privacy point of view) Mobility Email appears to be superior, since it includes;

'Profile locking': the client is able to automatically lock and unlock user profiles using AES256 encryption.

I ran across this a while ago but I'd forgotten to post it. It's a generic USB driver for Windows 98 that should work with any device that supports the USB Mass Storage protocols... so it should work with any USB flash device, portable hard drive, etc... even if the manufacturer doesn't make a driver for Win98 available.

Installing USB Mass Storage Devices on Windows 98

I know someone was having trouble with Kingston refusing to support Windows 98... so this should help.

Howdy all! I'm back in New York City after my holiday travels to visit friends and family. I hope everyone had a great holiday season and that your new year is off to a great start. I thought I'd drop a note in the forums and give everyone a status update on a few things.

First off, thanks for the well wishes for the holidays and for the 'feel better' sentiments. I wound up having bronchitis or something like it for about 4 of the last 6 weeks and nearly visiting the ER... at least partially due to overworking (like pulling the all-nighters leading up to the Suite release). Sadly, it resulted in me being unable to have Thanksgiving with my family for the first time in my life. But I did get better in time for Christmas and get to see my folks, sisters and nieces and nephews, which was great. ... before having a bit of a relapse the last week which slightly curtailed my New Year's plans

Hello everybody,

today I stumbled upon a site/software that I think can interest Portable App users who like games.

The software is Metaboli and, in short, is an "engine" that integrates in a browser (Internet Explorer supported and Firefox before 1.5) and allow to download an "image" of a videogame. The service cost 9 € or 19 € for month, depending on how recent the game you download is. In this period you can download and play any number of games on any number of machine (you cannot however play the same game on more than one machine at once). The game image is updated with all the latest patch. Saved games are separated from the game image, so you can take them with you.

Many people post their own created portable apps but I never fully trust them. I came across some that changed the settings of the version that was installed on the PC. Is there a way to check if the program is done correctly and fully portable?

I got a new Dell laptop (XP SP2) at work. When I plug in my Verbatim USB drive it doesn't mount correctly. It has an "!" in Device Manager and does not show in My Computer. If I disable/enable the drive in Device Manager it properly mounts and gives me the what do want to do popup with PAM as the default choice. Any ideas on what's causing this and how to fix? The drive worked fine in the old PC and works fine on my home PCs.
