Crashes in Windows 2000

Submitted by hdufort on April 13, 2007 - 2:45pm

Hi! I have just installed PortableApps Lite 1.0 on my Kingston DataTraveler USB 2.0 device (capacity 1 Gb). When I tried to run PortableApps, it simply crashed with a Windows error message ("PortableAppsMen.exe has performed an illegal operation.....")

Looks like my Windows 2000 (SP4) doesn't like this application at all! Anyone had the same problem?!

ps: My USB 2.0 ports are working fine; I use a USB scanner, a USB fax/printer, two USB drives and a Iomega USB external drive for my backups.

WinPE2.0 - Menu

If I plug the USB device into windows all works well.

What I would like to do is boot into WINPE2.0 and then launch the app menu.

When I try to run PortableAppsMenu.exe I get the following error
"Error reading Trayiconmenu.Visable. Cannot create shell notification icon"

If I manually launch the apps from their folders (such as Firefox) they work fine.

Would really like to use that great menu if possible.

Thanks

Will this work? Please take a look. this could save me a lot of trouble.

Hi,

First of all this is a great app.

Long story short. We have our database and we have a sql server installed on the computer.

Now i was just wonder...we sometimes give out demos of our database that we have on a cd and the users must install sql on their computer to view our demo, other wise they can not use our demo (our demo is a website and our database for those with no internet access).

Would it be possible in any way to have a sql server and our demo in a portable USB stick?
