    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?

    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

    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

  • Data Execution Prevention (DEP)

    I try to install a program (software bug) with a download on the internet which is used and installed it with this link by a lot of people and I think that comes from a reliable source. But when I try to load it, I get a message from the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) section of my Windows XP that says it's close Windows Explorer and then my desktop is disabled, and the only way out of this mess for seems to be to ctrl-alt-del and log off.

    I wonder, what is happening and what should I do?

    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.
