A few days ago I stopped being able to launch iTunes.  I immediately get a message sayign that he must close and Data Execution Prevention, it is that it is preventing from running.  I'm on Vista and you have Service Pack 2.

Hello

Change Data Execution Prevention settings

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that protects against viruses and other security threats by analyzing your programs to make sure that they use the system safely memory.

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

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

I would like to use the recommended settings, but if you wish, you can exclude certain programs.  You can even exclude programs is you use the recommneded settings.

    First of all, I hate Windows 7. I can't download any site plans. Internet Explorer stops just when I try to download from a trusted site. Tells me that the problem is Data Execution Prevention matter.  If anyone has had a similar problem and fixed it, please let me know how you did it.

    Ok. No problem. If you don't want to try to solve the problem, it's your choice.
    When something they are trying in a browser doesn't work, then the next step is to try it in another browser. The reason is that not all Web sites are optimized for all browsers. For example, there are the sites of online banking that will work correctly with Internet Explorer and not other browsers (Firefox, Opera and others). This is the reason why you should try another browser.

    What do you use on a firewall and virus/adware/malware protection?

    In fact, Windows 7 is considered by many, including me, to be the best operating system that Microsoft has just released on the market.

  • Data Execution Prevention ended at Half Life 2 (hl2.exe)

    I bought half-life 2 and install it on my new Vista pc. So I finished the installation, and I open up half-life 2. It takes a strangely long time to load, and the second it seems to finish loading, it closes, saying that he had a problem and hl2.exe had to be closed. In my taskbar, a small message will appear, indicating that the prevention of execution of data is completed half-life 2, click here for more details. So I clicked on the little bubble, and he showed a lot of things on the data execution prevention. And so I tried to disable it to hl2.exe and hl2_launch.exe, and then I restarted my computer. Once rebooted, my computer, I opened hl2.exe again. Same thing has happened, data execution prevention blocked hl2.exe. (And I'm sitting at my desk thinking, "Hold it.") Didn't I just put hl2.exe and hl2_launch.exe as exceptions in the data execution prevention? ") So I googled until I found another way to help." Then I went in cmd, it ran as administrator and copied and pasted the code from a help page - bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx AlwaysOff

    and you press on enter. I restarted my computer again. When it restarted, I opened half-life 2 and whadd' are knows, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. So what the hell is happening? Is it my computer? Or did Bill Gates? Help, please. It seems that I can't turn off DEP, and I can't add a program as an exception, even though my computer says I can. Oh yes, and I am the administrator, with all the privileges on my computer.

    Make sure that you update your PC and installed the latest service pack for Windows (if any).

    I recommend you contact the support of this program, this problem could be known.

    Also, you can try adding the software exception.

    Just in case run the full scan of the system with antivirus.
