Vista - DEP - Turn On or Off for Programs

[I]m having the same problem, my IE8 keeps shutting down. i have received a few DEP warnings, but most of the time it just shuts down & restarts, this can happen continously till i deciede to give up & shut IE8 down. My problem is certain websites i go2, and not applications. example im on a google image site and if i try right click to save the pic, then definatly IE8 will shut down & restart. if this can be fixed by DEP how do i know what to monitor and what not to.

Thanks

Hello HUSSKii, and welcome to Vista Forums.

DEP is a security feature designed to protect your computer by preventing a program or item from accessing restricted memory.

Since this is happening in IE8, you might see if this tutorial can help to see if it may be a IE8 add-on that is the problem.

Internet Explorer - Reset

Hope this helps,

hi brink, thanks on the info i had gone thru everything but still couldnt get the issue fixed.. i ended up returning to IE7 on my vista client.. currently im testing Win7beta on another partition and IE8 seems to be a little better, but still wat i found is that there still is them few sites that will reset or not load, same issues i had with vista but not as many sites... what i found is that most issues happen when u try view secured sites like banks ur ISP acoount ect.. so i ony go2 those sites whilst using IE7, just incase it has security issues in IE8... anyways sorry its taken me this long to reply, i have been a little busy in the new yr, and totally forgot to visit... i had received a notification when bobblackburn, requested some help... so thanks rob
as for yur issue, i count resolve mine, so sorry i have no advice for u... but hopfully brink or someone with his knowledge will see this and help u out.. also what version are u using, because i beleive now MS has IE8 out which isnt beta, for both win Vista & serv2008... that might help, thats if ur still using the beta version..

Hello Husskii,

You might contact those sites to inform them to see if it may a issue on their end to.

hi m8..
i never thought of that, worth a try. but in saying that, if they work on IE7 then wouldnt it be a prob with the browser im running...
thanks

Not necessarily. They may just not be fully compatible with IE8 yet. Sometimes running the sites with Compatibility View in IE8 may help.

compatible view works with most site, except for optus, when i press on the compatible button it still resets and when i hover over the button, it shows like i haven't pressed it yet.. and wat i found is that all sites that have a security certificate except of MS sites, are having trouble with IE8... for example optus keeps resetting, with my banks website instead of opening the login window in one of them secure pages, it will open in a new tab and i don't believe thats safe at all...
anyways i tried calling optus about the problem, and most say "we cant give u support on IE8 yet, coz its still in its testing stages ect ect" 1 young fella tried to assist, but when he couldn't figure it out, he then gave the same excuse...(10points for trying, i reckon) so now i use opera for optus site, and IE8 for the rest.. but when i want to do my banking, i go to my vista OS which has IE7 on it, and i use that for banking.. its a big headache i know but hopefully they will have IE8 sorted soon and i can put all this behind me...
and i am most certain that the bugs in IE8 have to do with security certificates, as i said, the only time i encounter problems, is when i try to go to a secure site or otherwise i have no hick-ups wat so ever...
cheers!

(oh yeah, and i know this is off topic but if i wanted to give someone a rep, how would i do it... Thanks much appreciated)

Hopefully so. I sent a PM to you on the rest.

yippy IE8 is finally working the way it should....
finally I get to use the one browser...........

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