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

Submitted by Crash on April 11, 2007 - 11:25am

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?

Dear Friends,
I'm a new portable apps user. I've installed some portable apps from other vendors. Some of the directories in portable apps directory contains more than one .exe files. One of them is the program it self the others are helping programs but all the exe's appears in the srat menu of portable apps.
Is there way to select or deselect the items in start menu.
