Data Execution Error

I got a new computer last Christmas. It runs Windows Vista. I had no problem using ITunes for the first few months but I had it on automatic update. One day it updated and I haven't been able to use it since. I removed all the programs, even downloaded the uninstaller. I went through my temp files and got rid of anything that looked like an apple product. But I just can't get it to work. I've emailed directly with Apple but no one gives me anything to help. I've tried all the things they keep emailing me..nothing works. Now I get a message that Windows must shut down Itunes, but that happens right after I click on it. The program never materializes. Windows says it's looking for a solution to the problem and up pops a bar that says it had to be shut down because of a data execution problem. i've gone into that menu and tried to make itunes an exception but it won't let me do that either. It's been months since this problem started and I have no idea what else to do...I'm beyond frustrated. Does anyone have any idea what to do?

I have the same problem, it only started about a week ago when i updated. I too have tried unsuccessfully to change the dep setting. I am just hoping that apple will recognize this as a problem and sned out an updated.

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known as execute) code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files.
DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.

I recently did an update for my iTunes and now when I try to open it, I get an error that says that my data execution prevention is not allowing it to open. How do I fix this issue?

Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

How do I prevent windows from shutting down ITUNES with a Data Protection Execution error when trying to sync with my Iphone 4S in a 32 bit windows environment?

I first was not able to install ITunes 10.5. Apple upgrade installer caused a data protection execution error and windows reverted the process back to the original software. I then removed ITunes through the control panel ap. I removed Bonjour and quicktime. I could not use the windows uninstaller to remove the apple upgrade installer and had to find a fix it program on the microsoft web site to fully remove this program. After doing this, I was able to load and install itunes 10.5. However, now when I try to sync my new 4S phone, the sync only goes to the 2nd or 3rd step before eliciting a DPE error and causing itunes to shut down. I tried making a new user profile. Opened I tunes in the new profile and began to search for music on my computer. The program again elicited a DPE error. I looked to see if quicken was still on the computer and maybe causing a hangup, but it is no longer installed. Ok, I am at wits end and have spent much too much time on this issue. Please help.

I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 RESTART UR COMPUTER..
c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.
d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

Error when opening PowerPoint related to Data Execution Prevention Mode

I am experiencing an error when attempting to open a PowerPoint file. . Here is the full message: "powerPoint is experiencing a serious problem with PowerPoint com add in. This add-in is incompatible with Data Protection Execution Mode and should be disabled or upgraded to the latest version. Do you wish to disable?" I am using PowerPoint 2010 and Adobe Presenter version 8.

I've continually experience the same issues. I have updated to Presenter 8.02.
If I open a project by double-clicking the .pptx file I get the following error message:
"Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)
SlideShowWindow (unknown member) :Invalid request. Automation rights are not granted."
If I then enter the Presenter tab and click an option (for instance "Settings") Powerpoint crashes and restarts itself. Once restarted the following error message is presented:
"PowerPoint experienced a serious problem with the 'adobe presenter powerpoint com adding' add-in. This add-in is incompatible with Data Execution Prevention mode and should be disabled or upgraded to the latest version. Do you wish to disable this add-in from loading?"
I can often crash Powerpoint with the same DEP warning by closing the presentation with the window's "X" button - Powerpoint restarts itself and gives the same DEP warning as above.
I normally choose to not disable and continue working. If I then go to "Settings" in Presenter again, it will open without problem. It seems that after four to six occurences like this, Presenter will then be disabled by Powerpoint and require resetting in the File-Options-Addins section.
Alternately, if I open Powerpoint first and then open my project through the File-Open or Recent Presentations list I do not get the Run-time error mentioned above and usually can open a Presenter option ("Settings") without crashing Powerpoint. I can also close the project without incedent if I use the File-Close menu as opposed the the "X" button.
I am running Win 7 64bit, Powerpoint 2010 32bit with Presenter 8.02.
Sincerely hoping support is continuing to monitor these threads, as this one was started in November without much response.

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) error

Today I downloaded the latest iTunes version, but I can't get it to open. I continue to get a Windows message stating that iTunes has been closed to "protect my computer" via DEP. I unintalled both iTunes and Quicktime, reinstalled iTunes, cleared old Quicktime from the System32 folder, changed the DEP settings to allow iTunes, and have re-booted at least 20 times today. What am I supposed to do to get my iTunes back?

After NUMEROUS times, I finally found a solution that worked for me. I hope it will help someone else. I found this after I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and all other Apple related files and folders many times. Every time I installed iTunes 10.5, I still got the DEP error. This is the soloution I found, although it is not a perfect solution, it's at least working until Apple comes out with a version of iTunes that will not trigger the DEP error.
Here is what I did: I used Uninstall Program in the Windows Control Panel to uninstall everything IN THIS ORDER
1. iTunes
2. QuickTime
3. Apple Software Update
4. Apple Mobile Device Support
5. Bonjour
6. Apple Application Support
Then I went to C:\Program Files and looked for any iTunes or Apple program listed there and deleted it. I have 64-bit, so I then went to C:\Program files (x86) and looked for any iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour or any other file or folder that had Apple or any Apple program in the name and deleted it.
I went to C:\Windows|SysWOW64\Quicktime and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\QuicktimeVR and deleted them.
Go back to START, and open the "C" drive. Open the USERS folder. Open the folder with your username. Open the AppData folder. Then double-click on the LOCAL folder to open it. If you see any files or folders there that show any Apple program or file, delete those files or folders. Then go to the REMOTE folder and do the same. If there are any other users on this computer, go to each individual user and do the same thing in each LOCAL and REMOTE folder. Restart your computer.
Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ This is the page where you will actually download iTunes. Scroll down the page to the section under "Windows Software" that says "64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer". Click on that line to get the installer. It will take you to another download window. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the message that says "Download for iTunes 10.4.1 for Windows (64-bit) here: iTunes for Windows 64-bit." Click there to get the download.
This is not iTunes 10.5, so you will not have access to "The Cloud", but it is at least functional until Apple actually comes out with a version that will not activate the DEP message. There was no combination of uninstalling and reinstalling, with or without Quicktime, with 10.5 that did not cause problems with Data Execution Prevention problems, that I found.
I also used Firefox for the downloading instead of Internet Explorer. It just seemed to function better that way. I have Windows Vista Home.
I hope this is helpful to someone. It's just what worked for me.

Can't open itunes due to data execution prevention error

I am currently unable to open itunes due to a data execution prevention error. I have tried to clear temp files, uninstall and reinstall and nothing seems to work. I tried to disable DEP for itunes but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me?

Try the following, one at a time:
1. First Repair QuickTime. START/CONTROL PANEL/ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS/highlight QUICKTIME, click REMOVE, then select REPAIR.
Now test your itunes and see if you still have this problem
2. If you have Codec installed, please uninstall it and test out your iTunes.
3. If all that fail, scan your system for possible Windows system file corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator" (for Win XP-just click command prompt)
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.
Open iTunes and see if problem resolved.

Latest Security Updates cause Data Execution Protection errors

Since the latest Windows updates I have been inundated with Data Execution Protection errors in IE 11. I have tired the troubleshoot of tuning off add-ons but the error continues. I only have Norton 360 toolbar as an add on anyway.
I can't isolate the problem - any suggestions?
As a side issue I also can't launch Google Chrome - it crashes on launch from a new installation.
I am running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo X1 carbon laptop.

Hello Adrian0511,
Which update do you mean?
Have you tried to reset Internet Explorer as MVP Rob mentioned?
We could go to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features click View Installed Updates and then uninstall the update and check if the issue stseill exists.
For more information about troubleshoot problems with removing updates, please take a look at the following article.

About the Chrome issue, it is recommended to ask in the related Chrome forum.

Firefox will not start I recieve error that Data execution Prevention will not let it start.

I am running Windows Vista home premium service pack one. I have never had a problem with firefox until 9-27-11 when upon clicking on the icon to open Firefox I got a windows error message saying that Data Execution Prevention has stopped the program from running. At certain times however, it will work. No other programs have been affected. It will not run in safe mode either.

You can try reinstalling Firefox. You can get the latest version for free, as always, at [http://getfirefox.com getfirefox.com]. Just install it over your current install. No data will be lost.
If that doesn't help, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

You came from the correct article. Here is what it has to say about that error.

Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
