**beemk** · 02-20-2006, 04:02 PM

cant you just install it on the drive? my card is a gig, im sure i could fit several programs on it.

or does it install the program files on the c drive when you do it?

a good way to test what will and what won't is to install a program and then move it to a new location on the drive and try and run it

or you can copy the program directory and then uninstall the program from add/remove....then paste the program back on your desktop and try and double click the program exe...if it runs correctly, you can run it off a mini drive

Installing and removing stuff on other computers is not my thang, assuming I'm even authorized to do that.

um...do you not have a computer of your own?

do you not own your own computer or something?...

do all this on your computer, then if it works, dump the program folder onto your mini-disk and take it to the other computer and run it... ;)
