I use unetbootin and reserve persistence space as recommended on the web site (e.g., 3350MB for a 4 GB drive); been doing it that way since the first time I wrote the iso to a flash drive.

How are you writing the image to the flash drive? I use unetbootin here and set aside some space for persistence. It works great for me.

get
the usual desktop, but cannot run CHIRP — when I double click on the
icon, I
get the timer icon for a while and then nothing thought maybe something went south on the laptop, so tried the same flash drive in my desktop (running 64-bit Win7 Home Premium), and got exactly
the
same result CHIRP update operation in both systems seemed to work fine thought maybe something went south with the 8 GB USB flash drive, so reformatted it and reloaded everything — same result on both systems tried another flash drive (4 GB), loaded everything from scratch, and got same result on both systems loaded daily build on laptop and it worked fine
Any suggestions? I really liked the Live USB option, but now…
