PortableApps.com Platform

Whenever I open the PortableApps Menu it always looks like this: http://marknharris.googlepages.com/Messedupmenu.jpg

When I ran Windows XP it looked right, but now that I'm running Windows Vista it looks messed up.

I tried updating the menu app but it still looks messed up.

Please can someone give me some clues on how I can change the varying shades of grey surrounding the white curved arrow in PAM's icon in the system tray to varying shades of the red used for menu's default surround.

I would like it to stand out more amongst all the other icons in the system tray and to diffentiate it when I have two running testing a beta.

I wouldn't mind if one of you graphics experts found it was quicker to do it for me than to describe how to.

I have windows XP

I downloaded and installed the standard suite. I installed portable apps to the folder:

C:\portable apps

I noticed that my C: drive has been renamed to "Portable Apps (C:)" and the icon for the drive has been changed to the PA menu icon.

I would like very much to fix this.

Thanks

Hi friends,

On the portable apps download page, the image shows that the menu has an
eject button beside the exit button.
On my menu, the eject button is not displayed.
What is wrong?

after clicking on "start portableapps" in the autoplay menu, i get another menu asking what should windows use to open the file with.

already tried this on a few xp machines and i still get the same thing.

any idea?

this is my autorun file.

[Autorun]
UseAutoPlay=1
Label=PortableApps
Action=Start PortableApps
Open=PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe
Icon=PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe

Hello everyone! I'm new in this forum. I was trying to run PortableAppsMenu on my Windows ME with 1158x864 resolution and I get the error message below:
----------------------------------
Portableappsmenu has caused an error in
.
Portableappsmenu will now close.

If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer.
----------------------------------

Exception EOSError in module PORTABLEAPPSMENU.EXE at 0000DA65.
System Error. Code: 87.
The parameter is incorrect.

----------------------------------

OS: Win Xp Pro SP2
USB: 1 GB MP3-Player USB 2.0
Portabel-Apps: Suite 1.0, Patched from 1.0 to 1.0.1

Got these Error-Messages in the Win-Explorer anytime I'd like to open the Apps from my USB-Player.

The only thing that works ist the portableApps-Menu, but even if I'd like to start any app using the menu, the Message-Box appears.

Have done the installation as told in the guide, directly into the root of my player...and there it appears under "Workplace\MTP Player\Internal Storage\PortableApps"

Any Guess?

Dear sirs,
I am using the portable apps menu on 2 systems : one "workstation" PC with 19" screen 1280*1024, and one notebook (ACER travelmate 653Lci) with a 15" screen at a resolution of 1400*1050. Whenever I use the menu on my workstation the menu shows correctly, whenever i show the menu on my notebook the menu shows "strange" (also in 1280*1024 resolution). I haev 19 programs installed
What do I mean by this :
The menu is (according to me)made out of 2 items : a background and the contents.

There's been a bit of debate about this... so I'm wondering what people prefer on the right-hand side. 'Video' or 'Videos'? It's currently Video... but I'm thinking switching it to Videos would be best.

On this PC running XP Pro, clicking on the "X" button to exit the Portable Apps Suite menu has no effect. Nor does right-clicking the system-tray icon to find a menu.

Could this be a firewall or AV interaction? Is there another way to exit short of going to a Task Manager stomp-on command? Befuddlement abides.
