How To Get Rid Of U3 Launchpad (when Using USB Stick)
Jan 9, 2009
I use WinXP SP3. This problem concerns my USB stick (a 1GB SanDisk).Whenever I stick it into the USB slot on my machine some noxiously helpful program launches itself (the U3 Launchpad), I always close it, but it still adders some folders to my stick (which I really don't need, and am tired of deleting after each use). In addition, in my file explorer it shows an additional drive (named U3) with its own drive letter.

Sometimes when I right click on a file the menu will stick on the screen and will not remove itself unless the computer is restarted.

Somehow over the last couple of days my Control Panel/Fonts folder has forgotten it's supposed to display Details view and every time I open it.I get that awful useless icon view.This is true whether I open the folder from Control Panel, My Computer or Explorer.I have all my other folders set to Details view and I've tried several methods to make the Fonts setting stick Closing the Fonts folder by various desperate shift-clicking and control-clicking of the Close icon in the top right;Running the "increase remembered folder settings to 8000" Registry script from Kellys Korner.Nothing has worked so far.

I have a graphics editing program that won't save to My Pictures folder because it can't overwrite an older version of the same file name claiming that the folder is read only. I've change the attributes over and over and it defaults back to that immediately so I can't edit my pictures and get rid of the old version without deleting it first. How can I get the attribute change to stick?

I followed instructions to edit the registry for a program (Foxit PDF Reader), changing 0's to 1's to disable a certain feature, then exiting from regedit. When I reopened it, the changes hadn't stuck. Is this a peculiarity of the program i.e., it has some way of preventing changes to its features or have I failed in some way to save registry edits before exiting?

Immediately after purchasing an 8 GB USB flash drive with the intention of running portable applications off it on the various Windows XP machines I have to use, I had installed the Portable Apps Base (http://portableapps.com/suite) and then through it, several applications, including OpenOffice Portable, Firefox portable and Tucan Portable. Probably after using the drive on one of my office computers, some files and folders seemed to become corrupted. After trying unsuccessfully to delete mysterious, un-openable files with special characters in their names that appeared seemingly from nowhere, I formated the drive.
After formating, I was able to copy data and music files from my computer's hard drive to the flash drive correctly. However, I am now unable to properly re-install the PortableApps Base program on the flash drive. Thus, the main purpose of buying it is defeated. The PortableApps software does seem to install, but when I double-click on the StartPortableApps.exe icon on the flash drive (F:SoftwarePortableStartPortableApps.exe), I get various error messages. Sometimes the message says that only part of the read request could be executed, and sometimes I get "StartPortableApps.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close". I got the latter after scanning the drive with an antivirus (no virus detected) and then checking the drive for errors (F -> right clock -> Properties -> Tools -> Error checking).
As a lay person, my guess is that something necessary for properly installing the programs was lost when I formated the drive. However, I do not see why this should happen, because the hard drive on my home computer has been formated more than once when it became infected, but there was never any problem with installing software afterwards.

I currently have a few problems in that I can not use my CD drive or my DVD drive.I also am unable to place a memory stick into my usb port and not be asked
to format it. My printer and mouse work fine in the other usb ports and I have also swap them in all 4 ports.This also might be connect to the problem in that I also can not defrag my c-drive as another application has exclusive use of it.

I have few files on a 128 MB my Flash memory stick. It won't allow me to ad or remove files from it.It says: Drive can't be written on. Please, remove write protection.According to problem solver there is nothing wrong with the memory stick, or HUBs. Memory stick's on utility program won't allow me to format it. Could it be so that it is jus broken (it's only 4 weeks old)?How do I remove write protection from the USB memory stick?

I added a 512mb stick and 500gb hard drive to an AMD 1.7mhz system that was running fine but just out of disk space (figured as long as the chassis was open to throw in the ram too). Now I can barely use the darn thing. Runs extremely slow. Audio and video and useless, responses are crazy - even the mouse is herky-jerky. Went into taskmanager and there is one program that seems to be using a lot of processor time but I alway have that one running even in the 'old' configuration. I can kill it and it helps a little bit but why should more resources make things worse. I have AVG running for virus checking and regularly run adaware and spybot for malware checking. Checked system settings and everything looks fine there as well - cache, VM, performance, etc. all set to normal levels (768mb by the way).

How to get the MS Scanner and Camera Wizard to see my camera's Flashstick when it's inserted into the flashstick drive after installing a MS critical update? This is from the MS camera.chm.lnk:To link a program to a digital camera event Right-click the camera, and then click Properties. # We did that and it said "the properties for this camera are not available." What now? All the software for this HP camera is installed and updated. We never had a problem with it before. How do we get the MS scanner and camera wizard to come up now when the flash stick is installed?
