My first post, problems: browser and autorun.exe

Hello, and greetings to all.

Uhm, I don't really know if this is the right place to post this but...here goes...

1st problem: IE8 and Firefox+DEP(Data Execution Prevention)=Fail

Well, i don't know when it started but when I was on the internet, particularly Youtube.com, and Firefox suddenly failed but it was not caused by DEP. So I go to the new overhauled IE8 with default DEP and stuff and DEP closes it on all kinds of sites. Erm...is it just me? Is it Youtube? Should I disable DEP?

2nd problem: autorun.exe

***EDIT***
Problem 2 Solved: I right click on autorun.exe and checked off Run as Admin in the compatibility tab. yeehee...but im wondering, how'd that happen? i mean it worked fine the day before...
***EDIT***

Uhm, last night there was a Windows Update, and it required me to restart my computer, but after i restarted, i went to sleep. When i got home i inserted a disc, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, and the autoplay screen showed up (The windows autoplay, not the in-disc one) and i clicked run autoplay.exe. But nothing showed up, so i checked the disc and autorun.exe only works when I right click the file and run it as administrator. So, i checked my other discs, Warcraft 3 seems fine, and i can run its autorun.exe. I can also run the RCT3 game using the desktop shortcut. I don't know what happened but i hope you can help me even with the limited info i have presented. If you need any additional info just tell me in this thread. Please and Thank you in advance.

My understanding was that DEP is controlled at the OS level, so whilst you could turn it off explicitly for certain applications, it comes into play simply because you are using Vista. IE8 is still in Beta mode so I wouldn't have a great deal of faith in that just yet ... IE7 is painful enough

How do you know that sites, or portions of sites, are closing due to DEP? Does a window pop up telling you? I've never actually seen DEP come into play for anything I have ever done, so I don't know what it looks like when it tries to prevent an event occurring

This link contains further information about DEP, most of which relating to XP or Server 2003 but some stuff at the bottom seems to link further to Vista

A detailed description of the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature in Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, and Windows Server 2003

As far as autorun.exe, I only read your post pretty quickly but I don't think I could ascertain what you actually wanted to do. Do you want the CDs to just start up automatically, without another Window popping up?
