It see's the .mov's, it can run the .mov's (5 sec) and it will start to move the .mov files, as in 1/3 has transferred. At that point it locks up, error message pops up as says something that there is no data?? (windows error message)
Windows explorer locks up completely and is unusable. Have to start another session. Tried reboot after reboot, no avail.
The only thing that I can get anything close to the issue, if at all it's related, is that the card reader was too old for these high end cards (class 10).
I have an older car reader at work, maybe a few years old, it reads class 2 chips fine up to 4gb. 8gb is no good, it reads it, but locks up when displaying data, it's too much data for it, and this issue I am having is giving me about 90% of the same issue as with work's card reader.
Though the newer card reader does read 8gb chips.

That's what I had been thinking, but wasn't sure. How can 2 near new devices fail at the same time? LoL, the chances...........

Going to try that now. See how it goes. Have a laptop with an inbuilt reader
EDIT: Tried in the laptop. Laptop read the card, loaded a 26mb .mov file, no problem, loaded up ran for 5 seconds and locked up.
Can't close explorer, can't close quicktime, had to a major reboot again. That was using vista, PC had xp.
Both machines had the latest quicktime.
The last line of defence, now is to turn off antivirus, as a pure guess (your suggestion).
Failing that, might try a low end vid to see if it's the camera's encoding changes it's issue of lockups.
