Everytime I try to use my firefox portable off my 2 gb usb drive I get handle invalid. How do I fix this? No I do not have adminstrative rights on the computer I'm using.

Could you please provide more detail about the error that's showing?

I have the same issue. But the "The handle is invalid" message is presented to me when I double click on the StartPortableApps.exe. I launch the exe that is installed on my 16gb thumbdrive. I cannot launch anything. Not too sure what is happening or what the problem is.
I have this error as well, but not on my personal pc. My workstation at work gives me this error and on all apps including portableapps.exe. All the dialog shows is the path to the exe and the words 'Handle is invalid'. I did find on the internet that this is possibly a registry issue and that a registry cleaner would fix the issue, but I am not sure that I trust where that was posted. Thanks
This sounds like a block to prevent EXEs from running off the flash drive implemented at the administrative level.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
