U3 Usb

mattthetoadwart · 04-02-2008, 05:26 PM

i'm having trouble with my U3 USB drive. it is Toshiba 2 GB U3 smart drive. when i bought it i was thinking that you could jam any windows program on it(.exe file extension). and jee, was I wrong!!! after i plugged it into my computer, i soon realized that they have to be a special type of program with the .u3p file extension. MAN WAS I TICKED OFF!!! if anyone out there knows how to run WINDOWS programs on it, can you please tell me how to do it. maybe there is a freeware program that can run windows programs on a USB. and please don't tell me about the Portable Apps Suite beacause i already know about and it is no use to me.

thank you again for the link. i am having more trouble because before i posted the origanal help message i removed the u3 launchpad because i knew that i could restore it. now i can't find the installer for toshiba u3 smartdrives. the only installers i can find are for other brands not toshiba. if you know the link of the installer for "Toshiba" smartdrives can you please tell me.
