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.

  • Unable to open Itunes in Vista - data execution prevention (DEP)

    I'm unable to open itunes on my computer. I can install it but not open it. It says that the data execution prevention has stopped the running of the program. I have tried to change the settings of the data execution program, but it will not allow me to accept itunes - as it says that DEP has to be activated for itunes and cannot be deactivated. What do I do?

    One temporary solution is to run itunes through XP rather than vista.
    To do this go to the program icon (makes sure its not a shortcut, and the actual program icon, you can find this in your program files if its on on your desktop)
    sideclick on the icon
    go to properties
    compatibility tab
    check Windows XP service pack 2
    tell it to apply
    This should allow you to use itunes

  • Can't run itunes on Vista - Data Execution Prevention issue

    Have installed iTunes on vista successfully. When I try to launch, was prompted to re-install iTunes again... digged a bit and came across this Data Execution Prevention issue...
    Any idea how to solve this issue?

    The following polydorus post is a good place to start with a DEP error:

  • TS1277 my itunes wont open beacause of a Data Execution Prevention harming my pc

    My itunes wont open because of a Data Execution Prevention harming my PC. What can i do?

    I had the same issue after my recent update of iTunes.  I didn't update Quicktime 'cuz I don't use it much (or at all).  On another thread discussing the same issue, I saw that the Quicktime installation can affect iTunes.  So I downloaded the latest Quicktime, installed, redooted - issue fixed (for now). 

  • I can't open Itunes due to error -45075. What do I do?

    I can't open Itunes due to error -45075. What do I do?

    I Had this problem along with the error message that it's missing the driver GNSDK_DSP.DLL. I am Windows XP and fixed the error by going to Start>My Computer>Add or Remove Programs
    When the Add or Remove programs list is "populated", Find iTunes on it. Click the link that says "For more information" and the iTunes box will expand. You will see a button that says "Repair" and it says to reinstall the program if it is not working correctly, use the "Repair" button. I clicked the Repair button and it automatically started the reinstall. When all the progress bars disappear (it doesn't really give you any other indication that its done) click the "close" button and try to open iTunes again. It worked first time for me. I also saw another forum where someone said it worked for the other Windows versions by following the same route, just that in other windows versions it might be "Computer" instead of "My Computer" and the Add or Remove Programs function is also called something else. Hope this helps somebody having this problem. It drove me crazy finding the answer, but the fix was super simple once I found out what to do.

  • Itunes continues to crash and I get the Data Execution Prevention error from Windows and it shuts down. How do I fix my Itunes?? This startes happening after the Itunes update

    Itunes continues to crash and I get a Data Execution Prevention error.

    Many thanks. If you're still not launching after your complete uninstall/reinstall, we'll go searching for old QuickTime componentry stashed in non-standard locations on the PC.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Windows keeps shutting down iTunes because of Data Execution Prevention. is there a DEP version of iTunes?

    My iTunes program keeps shutting down shortly after loading.  I get an error from Windows stating that a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Then I get a message that states iTunes was closed because of Data Execution Prevention.  It states to find a version that allows DEP or change your DEP settings.  I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but still have an issue.  Does anyone know how to fix this so that I can use iTunes?

  • 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.

    Recently, I did an update on iTunes on my Acer laptop. Now I can't open iTunes & I get a Runtime Error telling me C Runtime library is loaded incorrectly.  I have Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to reinstall iTunes.

    Hi sungoddess69,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To resolve this error, I recommend completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all of its related components using these steps:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
