17:10:27 <pa_0839> Hi
17:11:18 <pa_0839> I was wondering why is the logo changed to a grey one. While the logo was much more modern and cooler.
17:13:12 <pa_0839> Help
17:15:37 <pa_0839> I miss the old logo.
17:15:52 <pa_0839> So I wanted to know why is was changed.
17:16:41 <pa_0839> Will it maybe come back?
17:23:40 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0839: that's up to the owner and designer. We have no idea.
17:27:55 <pa_0839> Well that sucks
17:28:07 <pa_0839> I really liked the first one.
17:28:29 <pa_0839> Actually, many features I used to like are gone.
17:28:55 <pa_0839> Like what are they doing to the software,
17:29:23 <pa_0839> Don't fix something which isn't broken.
17:30:05 <pa_0839> I wasn't trying to be mean or so.
17:30:12 <pa_0839> I was just speaking my mind.
17:33:36 <pa_0839> I told so many people about this software.
17:34:02 <pa_0839> I hope that they wouldn't ruin it.

19:28:19 <pa_3692> help
19:29:39 <pa_3692> help! with display crashes
19:38:05 <pa_3692> Receiving Display Errors - display driver stopped responding and has recovered and after several - BSOD & dump ...
19:39:36 <pa_3692> Anyone experiencing this with their use of Portable Apps version 11.2 ??
20:00:22 <pa_3692> help! Are there any helpful comments for this Display Issue ??
20:01:13 <Gizmokid2005> pa_3692: there's nothing that portableapps would have that would be the cause
20:01:27 <Gizmokid2005> PortableApps doesn't run anything that has drivers
20:01:53 <Gizmokid2005> however, if you're using firefox and on a computer with an AMD video card, if you use Flash there is a known issue with the latest stable drivers that will cause those issues.
20:02:02 <Gizmokid2005> but that's not specific to portableapps
20:04:02 <pa_3692> Yes, I am using Portable FireFox ver. 29.1, but I do not know if this public library uses AMD Video on their HP's ...
20:06:16 <pa_3692> I experience these video issues, it seems, only when I am using my Portable Apps thumb drive, but not when I use the already installed browsers on the PC in the public libraries ...
20:06:28 <Gizmokid2005> are they running different versions of firefox?
20:08:05 <pa_3692> Yes, on this workstation. The FireFox is version 25.0 while my created Thumbdrive with Portable apps is a bit more current - 29.1
20:08:42 <pa_3692> By the Way, I thank you for responding .....
20:15:38 <Gizmokid2005> Yes, the issues with the graphics drivers surface in version 29.
20:16:03 <Gizmokid2005> so it's due to the version you're running and is an issue that isn't tied directly to our version of Firefox, but the actual released version by Mozilla.
20:16:59 <pa_3692> Are they fixed then is the latest 31.0, from your experience or from what you have heard ??
20:17:37 <Gizmokid2005> I haven't noticed, but I don't think so. I was running into the issue as well and had to upgrade my video card drivers for other reasons (which also contain the fix for this issue).
20:18:41 <pa_3692> Well, all App users start with your downloaded version and from there it keeps updating your version ...
20:19:27 <Gizmokid2005> yes, but the fix is in the video card drivers, not firefox from what I've been able to track down.
20:19:43 <Gizmokid2005> so it's not something we could fix if we wanted to...but we don't actually work on firefox so we couldn't fix it if firefox even could.
20:23:25 <pa_3692> I thank you for your experienced advise and I am unable to effect any changes here at this Public facility because I can not Directly inform their Techs....
20:24:17 <pa_3692> I have brought this to the Techs attention back in the Spring, but nothing seems to have changed for the Techs to go and look into this issue ....
20:26:14 <pa_3692> Again, I thank you for you information and the time for you to respond. This helps me to better understand and I had thought that it was hardware, but I can not effect the change on my end ....
20:28:10 <pa_3692> I will say GoodBye to you Gizmokid2005 ! As we use to say back in the 70's Keep On Truckin !
20:28:17 <Gizmokid2005> You're welcome
