DVD doesn't seem to run exe-files

[TippeX]

(only part of a read process memory or write process memory request was completed)

hmm that sounds a little suspicious, virus scan your machine.. copying files does not use read/write processmemory..

possible reason :

1. virus / trojan
2. shit anti virus program
3. misconfigured system (doubtful as the extension for .exe doesnt 'act' upon drive letters...)

Yeah with that new info he given us (which he could have done from start) I would say a replicator virus.

The virus will replicate itself onto any executable files you run, copy, or cut and paste.

Since it cant onto files from media, you will get errors.

yup, though he said his virus scanner found nothing, so either its a rare virus or his scanner is crap..

try using an online scanner ->
