Ok... gotcha... but the question still stands... how much RAM do you
have? 1 GB free of 3.7 is meaningless in this case as that appears to
be free space on the USB stick itself.
The question is about RAM... if, for example, you have only 1 or 1.5
GB ram, the stick could be creating a ramdisk that is too small to
hold everything it needs.
But that's just at thought that occurred to me after you mentioned
loading other apps onto this...
Have you tried it in OTHER computers to see if the same problems
persist? Know anyone who has a desktop machine with 4GB or more that
you can try it on? That would at least answer the ramdisk question.
Cheers,
Jeff
