After installing portableapps.com on my USB jump drive, and installing an app, I cannot "safely remove" the USB drive. Program "Unlocker" unlocks portableapps (nothing else shows up), but I still cannot safely remove the USB jump drive. I had no problems with portable apps nor this jump drive before installing portableapps.com.
How can I correct this problem?

on the platform there is a button that closes the platform then ejects the drive however if you have an app running in the background and you forget to close it out before ejecting it then it will close the platform then try to eject it which wont happen because of the app running in the background so you should close out any background apps if there are any then use the eject button on the platform thats my suggestion maybe somethings wrong with your flash drive or your install of the platform
Your computer can't stop you from physically pulling it out. I've never safely ejected it, and never had a problem.
the only time i just rip a flash drive out is if theres nothing important on it but the flash drive that has my PAc and all my data thats not backed up i always eject it and do everything safely because if i lost all that data id be screwed so its a good idea to either back it up always safely eject it
Sooner or later it will catch up with you. I've known people (not knowing better) to just pull out the thumb drive w/o ejecting or "safely removing". One person ended up with an unusable thumb drive and lost all the data.
Don't be a pin-head!
