my DEP has affected my MMC so i can't access the system even my internet.help.

I have had this problem for a few days now and it's driving me to distraction! I have tried adding programmes to the list in DEP to no avail. Why is it happening on M/S software if the problem is supposed to be down to poorly written code?

This annoyance has just started to occur with me. I have done as you suggested earlier but it still happens. It will not let me start Windows messanger and it seems everytime I open Facebook and then exit it, it will say there is an error and shut down any other windows I have open.

I tried to turn it off for iTunes (the latest version causes a DEP error) and Vista says it can not be turned off for this program.

Despite the above advice which I tried, you can't seem to turn DEP off. Basically my entire computer is useless. My online banking gets, shut down, my company email, and trusted ecommerce sites such as Commission Junction,Linkshare, Google Affiliate Network all get the DEP sign of death. I can log in, but as soon as I try to use any of the site's functions, they die. I have also tried adding the iexplore.exe and this hasn't solved the problem either. My 32 bit machine doesn't have this problem yet. Any ideas? I am getting desperate.

My internet explorer has a problem with data execution prevention, i did the method which you have given to switch off til den i get that mess pl kindly help me.

Ok, this worked. All you have to do is reset your options. Click on tools in a browser, then Internet Options, then Advanced tab, then below the box of a whole bunch of options. Click reset.
So for now, my internet isn't shutting down when I click on a link inside the program. Hope this helps.

I have the DEP error after Dell remoted in to fix my computer when I obtained a virus they charged some ridiculous amount and not they want $69 to even look at it again when they did not fix it to begin with. I get the DEP error when I am trying close a window. Can you tell me how to stop this?

The only program that is causing me DEP errors is Windows Photo Gallery!! I can no longer edit pictures using the program. Every time it tries to save an edited picture I get the DEP error.

There, fixed it for you.
