Fatal error with Menu

Submitted by eckyeckypikang on May 6, 2008 - 2:23pm.

I haven't had much luck searching the forums for my answer, so please forgive me for asking a question which may have been answered... I just can't seem to put the correct string of keywords together.

When I run the Menu and then make any selection from it, the selection starts fine, but I then get the error message "Portableapps Menu has encountered an error and needs to close." I have the option to debug the error or send an error report. Debug does nothing and I am getting tired of constantly having to restart the menu.

My drive is a sandisk cruzer (4Gig) from which I have uninstalled the U3 software...

Any help would be appreciated.

Completely delete your

Completely delete your existing installation of the menu and install the latest beta release. Despite the fact that it is a test release, it is more stable than the current full release, and includes more features.

Tried that...

but I still get the same error.

try

running checkdisk on that drive to test for filesystem errors...

Did that...

but it came up with nothing. Same error...

Could there be something wrong with my windows explorer that is causing it? I sometimes get a similar error with that when I'm doing anything involving peripherals like my phone, camera and such...

If so, any recommendations on how to address?

Any ideas?

Anyone...? Anyone...?

Bueller...?

Bueller...?

so it's more ...

that it's usb port related then hardware/software? Is it a loose internal connection? Have you tried using other usb ports?
If the only good usb port is a far one, you can get one of the 1' or whatever usb extension cords.

Don't be an uberPr∅. They are stinky.

I dunno...

The U3 software worked fine without any issues. I switched because most of the software I put on my drive was converted programs from here (and it took up quite a bit more space)... but I never had any issue like this with it.

I'd hate to go back, converting portable apps to U3 isn't difficult but it is an annoying extra step which consumes more space on the drive than I'd like.
