Read this information it worked for me. My problem was when I was on the internet trying to book flights and wanting to see the calander and then the message would pop up and shut the website down. I contacted Microsoft and they wanted to charge me $239.00 to fix. He explained that one of my computer execution files was corrupted and it possible happened during an update download so I retraced back to when I received the message (date) CLICK START, COMPUTER, UNINSTALL OR CHANGE A PROGRAM, VIEW INSTALLED UPDATES, THEN FIND THE RECENT DATES AND BEGIN TO UNINSTALL them it took me about 2 days but my computer works fine now some times you have to restart your computer uninstall as many as you can before restarting.

DEP won't let me send a fax from my online fax system, pay bills online and I can't figure out how to reconfigure it because it's not interfering with any of my programs...it's web related and annoying!
thanks, Liz

I had the same problem as chyna. I narrowed it down to the update for "internet explorer 8 for windows vista" i removed this update only and the problem was solved.

Hi!!!
I have gone with the above told procedeur and there are some programs I can put on exception list eventhough I want to e.g. firefox

Control Panel/System/Advanced/Startup & Recovery/Settings/Edit.change the last part to NoExecute=AlwaysOff and reboot. Afterwards the DEP will be greyed out. However it did not resolve my problem!

My Data Execution Prevention is turn off already but I'm still getting the error when I try to do spell check in my online classes. I don't know what file that would be under to let me turn it off for just that program.

I am having the same problem where I cannot click on any links on any websites becuase I keep getting the DEP error message. This is so frustrating. How do I turn it off and still keep my computer safe? Please help. Feel free to e-mail me. I do not understand how to turn off this feature for specific websites. No matter if I click the button to "Turn on DEP for all essential windows and programs..." or "Turn on DEP for all windows and programs.." I still am getting the error message.

Ive tried to turn of DEP for a program but it says i must have it for it. DEP stops me from loading it though.

how do i turn of dep for it?

I have Home Premium Vista. I do not have the "client" visible on my DEP. Should I have client checked? My setting is blank.

I have tried these steps and I still can not open programs and web sites. Help
