Whenever I try to use any OO app on my PC, I get "OpenOffice.org 2.4 has stopped working". Same thing happens on my HP Laptop. Both, PC and laptop, are running Vista SP1. The rest of portable apps work fine.
Any thoughts? Thank you.

I'm using OOoPortable on a client-issued Vista laptop where I do not have admin privileges using a copy stored in my documents folder. Is it practical to download a fresh copy? Do you have a local install of OOo on the machines?
... there are some issues on some Vista machines for 2.4.1.
If this version works for Youe, perhaps I'll publish an second release for 2.4.1.
Paid for Software more or less?

OpenOffice.org Portable 2.4.1 on Vista SP1 works fine for me, too.

I've used all releases of ooo on vista sp1. They all work.
ooo 2.4 -ok
ooo 3 beta 1 -ok
ooo 3 beta 2 -ok

Hi, I had the same problem - when trying to run OpenOffice.org Portable 2.4, it stopps working (on Vista SP1 laptop). I have installed the PortableApps Suite both on an USB flash drive and my PC. From the USB flash drive OpenOffice works properly, but from the Suite location on PC it doesn't work. I noticed another interesting point - the same file (OpenOffice.org Portable 2.4) works properly when installed separately from the Suite pack. It doesn't work only as a part of the Suite.
I downloaded and installed the Beta 2 version of OpenOffice.org Portable 3 (as advised), and this resolved the problem fully. Thank you!
