When I copy a dot exe file onto my Kingmax USB 2 flash drive it seems to
become extremely slow if not freezes the whole system. I have checked and
confirmed that the USB port is running at usb2, no spyware, malware, Trojans
or virii!! I do not have any drivers installed for this unit as it does not
need them under XP SP2. There is no USB security software installed - just a
plain vanilla connection and Windows finds it. No problems with other file
formats. If I rename the suffix from .exe to say .bmp it works correctly.
I'm running AVG virus checker and OutPost 1 firewall. Small exe files like
Gibson's "probe my ports" etc are okay.
The flash disk is formatted to FAT 32 although I have tried it on just plain
FAT! bad move... back on FAT 32
Any clues?
