Follow the instruction here to turn off the dep for GoogleCalendarSync.exe.

the GoogleCalendarSync.exe will be located in program files folder.

Thanks, however, the DEP panel is all grayed out. I can't choose anything.

Hello Gil,

Double check to make sure that you have DEP enabled to see if you can afterwards, or just make sure it's disabled to not have to worry about adding that program as an exception. Since you have a 64-bit system, you will also have a no execute BIOS setting for you CPU that may need to be disabled as well. Personally I would leave DEP enabled and find a better program to have better security.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Disable the dep from command prompt by using Always off switch in the above link given by brink.

Restart and try

Thanks guys.
It appears that enabling the DEP sloved it altogether.

Glad you sorted it out

I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted.
