Can't get Portable Abiword to work after installing WordPerfect Import plug-inSubmitted by HeyRanger on April 21, 2006 - 2:36am
When I try to open the program after installing the plugin, I get an error msg saying that "AbiWord.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." I followed plugin installation instructions at http://portableapps.com/support/portable_abiword#plugins. Without plugin, Abiword works fine. I'm running it on a Memorex 512 U3 USB drive.
