Is it possible to put party poker on a cd and not save on <font color="black"> </font> hard drive if your using someone else's computer?

If you have it on CD, it would still save to hard drive Im pretty sure. CD just makes it so that you don't have to download PP from the internet.

You need to install it - why not just uninstall when your finished?

you might be able to instal and run it from a usb flash drive though - are you thinking of playing on internet cafe or work PC's for example?

I was thinking about suggesting a removable USB drive, but doesn't the install need to make registry changes etc? E.g. you won't have priveledges to install anything. Not sure if installing on computer A and then running from USB device on computer B will work? Not convinced it will, but I stand to be corrected.

I do, and it does.

You can't install PP to a non-writable drive anyway, b/c the program needs to write to disk at runtime. Hand history files, software update downloads, etc all get saved to disk.
