PortableApps Will Not Run

ChazB (Homepage) - November 28, 2006 - 12:00pm

When I installed portable apps on my 512MB iPod Shuffle to see if I'd like it, everything worked perfectly. I went out and bought a generic 4GB USB 2.0 flash drive, and no matter what I try nothing will work. Every exe I try to run generates an error report to Microsoft. My USB drive works fine for everything else (read, write, access files) but nothing I do with PortableApps works.

Any ideas?


Er

Is it the standard "Application has performed an error" error?

It was, but it stopped working all together this morning. I'm chalking it up to poor quality generic drives. I took it back and got a 2GB Geek Squad U3 drive this morning. I just wiped the U3 stuff and loaded Portableapps. Everything is good again.
