Data excecution prevention closing Acrobat

Hello,
Help is desperately needed with the following problem I'm experiencing:
If I use any of the commenting tools on a pdf-document, within seconds (but not instantly) Acrobat goes into Not Responding state, and the Windows Error Reporting tool is started in the background. After around 5 minutes, a balloon in the task bar states that Data Execution Prevention has closed Acrobat 8.1 to "help protect your computer".
Strangely enough, after this the Acrobat doesn't close, but instead wakes from the not responding state and I can resume working. This happens only the first time (after opening the document) I use a commenting tool (e.g. highlight) on a document. After the episode, I can use the commenting tools without problems. But if/when I close the document and open it again this happens again. Also, if I open another document from Windows folder view (as opposed to opening a document by pressing the "open" button in Acrobat), it happens again. If I keep the Acrobat window that became not responding open, and open another document by pressing the "open" button in Acrobat, I can use the commenting tools without problems on the newly opened document.
My installation of Acrobat is a part of CS3 Design Standard installation. I'm using Acrobat 8.1.2, and Windows Vista Business x86 SP1. I've tried reinstalling the whole CS3 package, and Vista also, but it didn't help. I also checked whether I could disable DEP for Acrobat, but the windows tool claimed this was not allowed (using standard Admin rights).
Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Anyone?

  • DEP (Date Execution Prevention) Closed iTunes due to security reason

    I just bought a new laptop (SONY SR) operated with Window Vista. My laptop never run iTunes since I installed it. I tried uninstall and reinstall again n again, but it just doesn't work.
    A screen appeared and say that iTunes stopped working, DEP (Data Execution Prevention) has closed iTunes due to security reason.
    How do I off that "DEP"? Thanks!!!

    Hi, I just got this problem solved. Hope it helps.
    You don't have to turn off DEP or reinstall any program.
    The only thing you need to do is associate your Quicktime files ONLY to QuickTime player.
    When you open QuickTime it will automatically pop up a window to ask you if you want to fix file association. The answer is positive of course.
    If it still doesn't work maybe you could uninstall some codec / media players which associate with QuickTime files.

  • Data Execution Prevention will not allow iTunes to open.

    This started when I plugged in my iPhone to update it.  Data Execution Prevention closed the program then, and I can't open it again.  I have completely deleted all Apple programs from my computer.  I deleted all temporary files, defraged my hard drive, ran virus protection, restarted my computer and downloaded iTunes 10.0 AGAIN for at least the 10th time.  It always appears to install correctly, but when iTunes is supposed to open afterthe install tool closes, I get the "iTunes has stopped working. Winidows is checking for a solution" message.  Then Windows automaticly closes iTunes and I get the message that DEP has closed iTunes.
    Prior to trying to update my iPhone (which started all this) I was running iTunes 9.  I never had any problems with it.  (Is there somewhere I could go to download this version?)
    At the moment, I do not have Quicktime installed because I deleted it, and it was not installed the last time I installed iTunes.  iTunes still will not open.
    I enabled myself as administrator, and moved other users to "Standard" in the Vista User Account Control. 
    I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.  Apple only gives the option of installing the 64-bit version of iTunes.
    Is this just a bug in the iTunes update, or what.  I would really appreciate any help I could get with this.  I have been reading suggestions and solution on these boards for the past 2 days, and nothing has worked so far.
    Thanks! 

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • On closing Acrobat Windows detect an error "Data Execution Prevention has closed Adobe Acrobat".

    Hi,
    I developed a plugin which captures Before/After open, close and save events and perform some operation inside these events.
    I tested the plugin in Windows XP and Acrobat 9.0.0 and 10.0.0 and everything works fine. But when in test my plugin on Windows Server 2008 Standard 32 bits, then windows detect an error while closing the acrobat and shows the following message:
    "Data Execution Prevention has closed Adobe Acrobat"
    I am using Acrobat 10.0.0 for testing in Windows Server 2008 operating system. Also, debugging the program shows no error but plugin does not produce the desired result when tested on Windows Server 2008 Standard 32 bits operating system.
    Can anyone please giude me how to resolve this issue??
    Thanks in advance!

    Are you really using 10.0.0?  You've installed no updates to it??

  • Why Might Data Execution Prevention Be Closing iTunes 11.2.0.115?

    I don’t own any Apple hardware and only use iTunes to listen to songs I purchased in the iTunes store that only work in iTunes. I started noticing problems when I updated to version 11.2.0.115 today. The “iTunes.exe” process remains in the “Processes” list of my Windows Task Manager for about 30 seconds after I exit the program. A balloon then appears in my taskbar saying Data Execution Prevention has closed iTunes. Windows Help and Support suggests seeing if a DEP-compatible version is available before turning DEP off for the program. I’m using Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 32-bit. What, if anything, can I do?

    I fixed it on my computer.  Not sure which of the steps I did fixed it so I will list all of them.
    I wasn't getting the error until I did the following (to prevent it from just crashing on logging into the iTunes Store)
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23987910#23987910
    I added C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support; to the system variables PATH (depending on your operating system, your file path will be different).  How to do that has been outlined in the above linked article.
    This now caused DEP to freak out whenever I logged into the store and close iTunes.  Adding iTunes to the DEP filter didn't solve the problem.  So I removed all the saved system settings for iTunes and ran Apple Software Update.  I also went to the DEP and added every .exe I could find in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple to the exceptions list (again, depending on your OS the file path may be different.)
    To remove the saved system settings for iTunes you can find those in C:\Documents and Settings (for Win XP) or C:\Users (for Win 8).  Find a folder named AppData or Application data under various user names and remove any Apple related files you can.  I had one .log file that couldn't be deleted, but that shouldn't be a problem.

  • When I open itunes I get a 'DATA EXECUTION PREVENTION' 'Windows closed program'. Can anybody help please.

    When open iTunes it starts OK then a message from Windows appears, 'DATA EXECUTION PREVENTION Windows closed program'. Then the whole thing shuts down. Does anybody know how to sort this out please. I am using XP operating system and have recently updated iTunes. Thanks

    Hi alanfromharlow,
    It sounds as if iTunes is failing to launch properly on your Windows computer. You don’t mention what version of Windows you have, but one of these two articles should be useful to you -

  • HT2292 Have upgraded to itunes 11.0.1.12 start itunes and it is closed, message reads I tunes closed to help protect computer, data execution prevention has closed itunes. windows Vista 32bit

    Have upgraded to itunes 11.0.1.12. Start itunes and it is closed with the message itunes closed to help protect computer data execution prevention has closed itunes. operating system is ms vista 32 bit. I have followed the procedures that I can find on the itune support site.

    You're welcome. Glad you got things sorted out.
    (No problem about not spotting the solutions ... the most common causes of this sort of message changes over time, so it's not straightforward to be able to tell when a given piece of advice still applies to the symptoms. Definitely worth posting to try to get a current heads-up on the likely contemporary causes of a particular error message.)

  • Data Execution Prevention has closed Adobe Reader

    I cannot launch Adobe Reader, got the following message
    When I close program, a message says "Data Execution Prevention has closed Adobe Reader."  I have searched the Microsoft Community for fixes, but those suggestions don't work.
    I'm running Windows Vista Home Basic Version 6 Service Pack 2, 32 bit and I have downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.4

    You can download the 10.1.9 update patch from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5712
    Protected Mode is normally disabled from within Adobe Reader Preferences.  Since you cannot even open Adobe Reader, you can disable it via Windows registry: download, unzip, then run the attached registry script.

    DEP (Data Execution Prevention) is Windows "protecting you from yourself".
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-Data-Execution-Prevention-settings?Sign edIn=1
    The options to disable it are there... but "only if you trust yourself not to blow up the whole Internet" (sarcasm).

    I can't open iTunes...Windows connectivity test says that iTunes has stopped working....Date execution prevention has closed iTunes.  

    If you update your QuickTime Player to the latest version, does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?
