USB stick crash
Don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I get a Windows Explorer crash when I plug a USB memory stick in to any of the USB ports on my PC. It doesn't happen immediately and I have been able to open files, but then it all goes pear shaped and stops functioning. At which point W.E. gives up and wont recognise the existence of the stick. If I try and shut down, it refuses to let me. Having seen a similar problem reported with Vista, I reformatted one of my sticks to NTFS. This worked, so is the problem with the FAT file system and Win 7?
I am running Win 7x64 on AMD Athlon64 Dual Core 6400+ with 4Gb Ram
