General Discussion

Hey, so I have a Corsair Flash Voyager GT (2 GB.) which I purchased a few months back (July). It has performed flawlessly until last week, when, at random times, the contents of the drive would seemingly "disappear" in windows explorer. Any file transfers to or from the drive would also simultaneously fail.

When I open "My Computer," (where the drive name and icon are still visible) and look at the properties of the drive, it shows that the drive size is 0.0 MBs, with 0.0 MBs of free space left.

When I first signed on I had a problem getting my registration information by Email. Probably caught in a filter. I tried again with the same result. Finally on the 3rd attempt I used another Email address and Got in. The problem was that when I had the issue there was no place I could post and no contact address for this type of issue. Now the database is sitting there with a dead account for no good reason other than it's taking up space.

I recently bought 2 4GB USB sticks but after a while I discovered they are actually 2GB. Anything more than that will result in empty folders or currupted files. Not so great way to waste 40 Euro.

UPDATE:
I found a reference to an application that FORMATS the USB Flash Drive and restores the USB stick to it's ORIGINAL size!! I managed to restore one of the two drives back to the actual 2GB size.
I didn't get the other 'fixed' yet, but at least this is the real size.

UPDATE 2:

Is it possible to download all portable applications in one go?

The suite looks great but doesn't include them all.

By the way, did a search but didn't find any relevant topic, sorry if this has been asked and answered previously.

Suddenly , I dont know why, when I stick in any usb drive , stick or what evr, it is recognised by the system, the green harware remove symbol in the tray, but the drives are not shown in the explorer view, so they are not accessible at all for me.
I can access then from command line, the remove hardware knows them , also the hardware manager knws them as what they are, but I simply can not brows them.

Hey Everyone

I've Noticed ALOT That Everyone Has Been Waiting For Updates In Some Apps

I've done some searching, and as usual I've found bits and snatches on this subject, but in most other places it has been discussion of why autorun doesn't work.

What I'd like to see is a discussion of how to enable novice users to be able to launch PA comfortably on machines that don't have autorun enabled. For example, the "windows-start" key plus E opens "my computer" in explorer, a couple of clicks opens the PA drive and starts PA. That's what I'd do, but that's probably not something that newcomers would find comfortable ... or is it?
