Data Execution Prevention??

Post by SuperQuaise »

Hi, I have been having a lot of problems with my PC lately, and every time I log on the Data Execution Prevention window pops up and wants to close eithet UserInit, Explorer. Run a dll as an app..... etc. I reformatted and have the same problem still. Is it a virus or something I can fix in a different manner?

Just turn DEP off.
If you have half-decent anti virus it will do a much better job of blocking suspect code execution.

Assuming you have XP, right click on My Computer :arrow: Click on Properties :arrow: Click on the Advanced tab :arrow: Click on the Settings button in the Performance section :arrow: Click on the Data Execution Prevention tab
