Skype Portable error "Disk Full"

Everytime my laptop goes into sleep mode and then wakes up I get an error in Skype Portable saying "Disk Full". I have to quit out of Skype completley and re-launch it from my PortableApps USB drive.

Admins, I didn't see a Skype Forum. Do we need one or is it OK to post in General Discussion?

More general problem?

Can you actually use your USB disk after coming out of sleep mode? e.g. try to create and save a text file in Notepad and see if you can write to the USB Disk. Doesn't sound like this is a Skype issue per se, but more an issue of the USB disk not being initialized correctly after sleep. That could either be a USB Controller driver issue, or actually more a problem with Windows in general.

If it's just Skype then I don't know. Smile

Sleep Mode + USB = Bad

Many laptops don't properly have USB devices running once Windows comes out of sleep mode, so it's like yanking your drive out for a little while. The best bet is to not use apps on an external device on such a machine when it enters sleep.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
