Vista - Data Execution Prevention has closed Windows Mail

Temporarily uninstalling NOD32 (as a test) does not necessarily mean
getting rid of it for good. If there is no improvement, reinstall NOD32.

As far as your question about DEP events, I don't know, you would
have to ask that in the Vista security newsgroup.

The mean time between failures is several days, so unless I can find some
way of triggering the failures at will it means that I'd be running without
antivirus software for a few days.

If that worries you, you could install one of the compatible free
antivirus products temporarily:

AVG free edition:

or
Avast free edition:

With either of those, during the install phase you must select custom
install, and then deselect the email scanning option.

I haven't gotten any more of the crashes. It seems that all occurred when I
had more than one message window open, some thing I've tried to avoid over
the past week. It is not clear whether this problem has anything to do with
NOD32 at all. I'd be interested in whether other people see such crashes as
well.

Having multiple message windows open should not cause a crash.
It doesn't for me.

I am having the same problem, except it occurs as soon as I open up Windows Mail. It immediately crashes with a DEP has closed Windows error. I have no idea what NOD32 is... an anti-virus? I'm running PCillin on my laptop right now. I don't know what could have casued this to start happening... I've been trying to install some games (with little to no success) on here the past few days, but that's about it. I am running a Dell XPS MXG071 with Vista Home Premium 32bit. Would trying to reinstall Windows Mail help or not?

started causing problems with Windows Mail. If you have it, you may
need to uninstall it.

Is that PCillin from Trend? If so, a recent version of the Trend antivirus
program (details not available) causes assorted problems in Windows
Mail, and disabling it seldom helps. You usually have to uninstall it
instead. You may then need to remove your email account under
Windows Mail, then restart Windows Mail and add the account again.

Having more than one antivirus program installed at a time is not a good
idea; it tends to cause assorted problems, not only in Windows Mail.

If this cures your problem but leaves you without an antivirus program,
you may want a replacement antivirus program that doesn't cause such
problems. Most versions of the Norton and McAfee antivirus programs
are bad choices; we see reports of the problems they cause in Windows
Mail more often than reports of problems caused by any other programs.
I recommend either avast! or AVG, either one with a custom install
where you tell it to leave out the part that scans email.
