can not open keepass due to write protection

Submitted by deemcgee on April 19, 2008 - 9:26pm

I installed Keepass Portable and thought everything was ok however when I reinstalled my USb Thumb drive the next time I get this message " The disk cannot be written to because it is write protected. Please remove the write protection from the volume in drive F:" The thumb drive is not write protected with the tab that is on the left hand side of the drive so I quess it's the Keepass software that is preventing it from being written to.

Also Keepass does not automatically start when I insert the usb drive. I've tried my password several times to no avail.

Hi, I just downloaded the latest version of ClamWin but I can't seem to update the virus database. Below is the message that I got when I tried to update. Can anyone help me?

Thank you

ClamWin: Outdated

Submitted by MattNW on March 5, 2008 - 12:16am

I just downloaded the portable version of ClamWin. When updating the definitions it says the app is out of date. On the FAQ page of the portable version it says to update the app all I need to do is download it again to my USB drive but the download I have there now is barely 24 hours old. Does the portable ClamWin have a different version number that makes the downloader think it's outdated or is the PortableApps version on the Source Forge site actually outdated? If so where do I get a recent portable version?

Memory usage: KeePassPortable1.10 vs. Portable KeePass1.10

Submitted by Saibot on February 20, 2008 - 11:21am

I've started closely monitoring memory usage on my system recently using Process Explorer and today I noticed that KeePassPortable1.10 was using ~35M of memory. After restarting it a couple of times, it's clear that's the standard. That seemed exorbitant since the KPP directory is only 1.3M on my disk.

So I went over to the KP site and downloaded their Portable version of KP1.10. Low & behold, this version uses less than 4M running with the same database & ini file.

Any idea why KPP is grabbing up so much memory?

Thanks,
Tobias
