• Why does the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) stop Windows DVD maker work & burn a DVD of my videos?

  My operating system is Windows Vista.  I used Movie Maker to make of my recordings of camcorder home movies, but when I try to burn a DVD with Windows DVD Maker, the program closed its doors with an error message - Data Execution Prevention (DEP) has apparently stopped the program for preventing possible dangers for my computer, maybe because he was "bad memory usage".  I tried to turn off DEP for this program, but it won't let me.  How to work around this problem?

  NB I have not used the DVD maker for about 20 months, but it worked fine then!

  The problem might actually be an add-on or another program to the origin of the problem and you should check that
  1st.

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER on it
  machines, including those that you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

  Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security - reset all Zones by default level - apply / OK

  not better?

  Close IE and try again IE or IE with no Addons

  IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
  "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

  Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
  are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

  Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
  are bad, but some can cause your question. (Toolbars are BHO)
  http://securityxploded.com/bhoremover.php

  Startup programs
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/79612-startup-programs-enable-disable.html

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and it would be
  unusual with Prevx market except for an occasional cookie of low level (not a big deal), update it, then
  run as a scanner.

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

  I would add prevx so.

  Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
  a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.

  If you choose to protect all programs, you can always turn off DEP for individual programs. If you think that a program does not run correctly when DEP is enabled, check for a compatible version of the DEP program or an update from the software publisher before you change your DEP settings.

  a. Click to open the system.

  b. click on advanced system settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  c. running, click settings.

  d click the Data Execution Prevention tab and then click on turn off DEP for all programs and services except those I select.

  To turn off DEP for an individual program

  Select the check box next to the program that you want to turn off DEP for and then click OK.

  If the program is not in the list, click Add. Navigate to the Program files, search for the executable file of the program (it will have the .exe extension) and then click Open.

  To turn on DEP for an individual program

• Data Execution Prevention will not let me turn off for nothing

  Data Execution Prevention (DEP) blocked one of my games to open. I followed the steps to turn it off, but when I get to the window with the option "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select", it is grayed out and won't let me select it. I am the administrator (my account is the only one on this computer), so I don't know why it doesn't let me do. I have looked everywhere and can not find someone else with the same problem. I have Vista Home Premium, 64-bit, if that helps at all.

  Hello

  First of all, I suggest you to see if a Data Execution Prevention of the game compatible version is available by visiting the website of the software publisher. If the Publisher has not released an updated, compatible version DEP for the program, you can turn off DEP for the program that was closed. You will be able to use the game, but it might be vulnerable to an attack that could spread to your other files and game.

  I would suggest trying the following steps and check if it helps.

  Step 1: Open the elevated command prompt, follow the steps to open the elevated command prompt.

  a. click the Start button.

  (b) in the Start Menu, click programs principally made, followed by accessories.

  (c) in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option.

  d. in the drop-down menu that appears, click on the "Run as Administrator" option.

  e. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked for permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  Step 2: Try the following steps to activate the Data Execution Prevention, using commands.

  a. in the elevated command prompt, type bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx OptIn and press enter.
  NOTE: If for some reason that this command does not DEP after restarting the computer, then use the command bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx AlwaysOn rather.

  b. you should get a success return message.

  c. close the elevated command prompt.

  d. restart the computer to apply.

  Note: Once you are done with step 1 and step 2, try to add the data execution prevention program and check if it helps to open the game or not.

  Hope the information is useful.
