At the risk of having you go could you please provide more info about your particular problem other than "it doesn't work" and "really pissing me off".
While both are probably true, neither helps troubleshoot your problems.

When you double-click on Start.exe what happens? If you try disabling Norton (after scanning the drive, of course) and then running Start.exe what happens?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
When I try to run the start.exe it looks like its going to load but nothing happens, I tried disabling norton but still desame , I did a full virus scan on my computer and no viruses were found , I know it's only on my computer because I tried it on my sisters laptop and also my schools computerand it works fine.

Where do you have start.exe located? Is it in the root of your portable drive along with the PortableApps and Documents directories? Have you tried browsing to the PortableApps\PortableApps.com directory and running PortableAppsPlatform.exe directly?

It's located in the root of the drive and running the PortableAppsPlatform.exe is exactly how I run it but can never get the start.exe to work.

So it is X:/Start.exe and the platform is X:/PortableApps/PortableApps.com/PortableAppsPlatform.exe ?
Because if the folder layout isnt the standard one, the shortcut won't work.
