Data Execution Prevention and Windows Movie Maker


Apologies if this has been asked before, but I look through a couple of
threads and haven't found any satisfactory help on this problem.

Recently, my computer apprently downloaded DEP in an update, and I
haven't been able to open Windows Movie Maker since. I'm nowhere near a
technological genius, but I did go to advanced system properties, and it
refuses to allow me to add WMM to the exception list for DEP. I can't
turn DEP off either, and so far it's done nothing but hassle me, even
turning off IE and Firefox once or twice.

So...if at all possible, I'm just asking for a little help, in the
simplest terms, if anyone knows how to fix this. Cos for once I
actually didn't cause the computer problem, and that just doesn't
happen...well, until now.

Re: Data Execution Prevention and Windows Movie Maker


So if you go to the Problem Reports and Solutions Center control panel,
click View Problem History - what data is listed for these DEP errors? That
may identify the actual culprit. =)

DEP has been there all along. The difference now is that some third party
is probably trying to do bad things with memory.
