Last night FirefoxPortable and GaimPortbale worked as good as they did the last 4 months...
But this morning neither of them wants to start: there is no welcome screen or picture but the windows error message that the program had to be closed.
The weird thing is that suddenly both programs don't work. I tried to use ThunderbirdPortable which is on the same FlashDrive but it doesn't work either. I tried to copy the FirefoxPortable folder to my HardDrive and start it there but that didn't work either.
Anybody has an idea where the error might be?

I am by no means an expert, but my guess would be something wrong with the flash drive. Perhaps it got corrupted.

Thanks for the reply but it seems it is solved by itself:
When I used my computer later I could run ALL Portable Apps WITHOUT ANY problems!
If anybody has an idea why this happened though, your more than welcome to let me know...
Download Process Explorer -> http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer....
Open Process Explorer, goto File and Save As to save the current running processes
Whenever your portable applications stop working, perform the same process as above to see if any 'weird' processes may be screwing with the ability to run those applications.
Remember, before killing any process, google the process name (i.e. Firefox.exe) to find out if there may be any malicious or instability about that process.
Hope this helps

except i couldn't access any of my files. Apps, documents, music, none of it worked. I closed out of the Windows Explorer and then re-opened Windows Explorer to look at my drive, and NONE of my files were there. It said the device was 0 KB in size, with 0 KB free space. I restarted the computer after I ejected my drive. I read my drive and all of my apps and files worked. I still blame it on the drive.
(If anyone's wondering, the drive is a Lexar Secure 256 MB. The computer was Win. XP sp1.)
So my question is: is your drive a Lexar, or is the computer I used it on crazy?

I have a Kingston Data Traveler. Same thing happened to me. I think it's WinXP.
