i have problems with autorun in vista...

i use the PA in a pendrive and in XP it ask how i want to open the pendrive... ok

in vista, before the installation of PA too but after, it says my pendrive have problems and it ask to me if i want to correct the problems, but when i say yes, it dont find nothing! after that, it ask again... if i say no and open the drive by explorer it works perfectly and dont have any problem!

i formatted my pendrive but this sill happening. only after install of portable apps... and only in vista!

i dont send a screenshot because my system is in portuguese and the messeges will not be usefull...

other thing: how i do to make the PA the default and not ask all times? i tried by the same form of other things like CD but PA is not in the list... (need this in XP and Vista)

thanks!


Portable apps in vista/XP

I have about 3 of these I run on 4 xp systems and 3 vista systems without issues. Only one I have your issue with was a converted sandisk USB. I resolved that problem by formatting [not using the quick format option] and allowing vista to fix what it perceived as errors. I then installed the portable apps from my vista system. It seems installing from xp make vista jealous. After installing from my vista system, I have no longer had any issues with all the others.

thanks! i'll try that!

thanks!

i'll try that!
