What does it do and what does it stop you from doing?
...IIRC it is a security feature for the buffer overrun type exploit...it may also prevent you from installing legitimate progrqams, Adobe Reader and PSP 8 here, unless you allow an exception or disable it...
...a minor nuisance but nothing to cry over...I wouldn't leave it disabled...
...btw, it's a feature only found on AMD64...

Is there a Data Execution Prevention compatable version of iTunes? I have reinstalled iTunes 10.5 at least 10 times, and after it installs, it will not open because of DEP.

I have tried all the advice I have seen on Apple Support discussion boards for the past 2 days, and nothing works. Disabling DEP is not possible, regardless of what the Windows Support discussions tell you. In the meantime, I have absolutely no access to iTunes, or even the ability to update my iPhone or iPod. The only feasable solution is the possibility of a version of iTunes that is compatable with Data Execution Prevention settings.
In the past 2 days, I have: Removed iTunes and related components from the Control Panel (numerous times) Per the instructions on Apple Service discussions pages, I did it in this order. 1. iTunes 2. QuickTime 3. Apple Software Update 4. Apple Mobile Device Support 5. Bonjour ^. Apple Application Support. After all that, I reinstalled iTunes.
Everything looks fine during installation, with no error messages. At the end, it says everything was successfully installed. However, when the installation tool closes, iTunes will only partially open a window, but will stay blank. Then I get the message that iTunes has stopped working and that Windows has shut it down. Then I get notified that DEP has caused iTunes to shut down.
Can someone please help? Or, is there a DEP compatible version of iTunes?
I would appreciate any help. Thanks!!

Polydorus,
Thank you for your kind reply. During the many times I uninstalled iTunes, and all the other Apple programs, I only used the Uninstall Programs in Windows Control Panel. To make a long story short, I found a solution that works for me, but it is still not a complete soluton.
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 hope this is helpful to someone. It's just what worked for me.

ITunes 12 incompatible with Windows Vista Data Execution Prevention

I just did a clean install of iTunes 12.0.1 after removing 11.4 and other components as described in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2 with 3 GB RAM. Soon after closing the iTunes GUI, I get a Data Execution Prevention notification:
I have already tested with every DEP setting except AlwaysOff, which would globally disable an important Windows security feature and is therefore not to be recommended. The problem is apparently a Buffer Overflow Exception. Here are the details from one instance:

This is actually not a new problem. As an experienced user of 32-bit Vista, I would have to say that the last compatible iTunes version was 11.1.5. See also Windows Vista problem reports after latest Itunes 11.2 update.

I have been getting a "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error message whenever I closed iTunes for months now, and after reading through a few forums, I have found a solution that works. Long story short:
1) Start iTunes
2) Open the Windows Task Manager
3) Go to the "Proccess" Tab
4) Find "AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32" and right click on it.
5) Select "Properties" from the drop down menu
6) Go to the "Compatibility" Tab
7) Check the Box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
8) If "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is not in the field below, click on the down arrow and select said option.
9) Click on "OK" to close the window.
10) Close the iTunes application
11) Reopen the iTunes application
12) Close the iTunes application again.
At this point you should not see anymore "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error messages when you close iTunes!
P.S. If you want to go back and de-select running "AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32" in Windows XP Compatibility mode, you can. Though this part is totally optional. The next time you close iTunes, you will get one last "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error message, but don't worry, it will be the last one. Try opening iTunes again and then closing it, and TaDa, no more error messages. I don't know why running AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32 in compatibility mode JUST ONCE solves the problem, but it worked for me.
Happy new year \o/

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?

I just recently downloaded and installed the latest version of iTunes. When I close the program I get a warning "Data Execution Prevention has closed iTunes". What is this and how do you fix it. I have already reinstalled iTunes and that didn't work. I am running Windows Vista and have had no trouble with previous versions of iTunes.

In a nutshell, the last version of iTunes that was fully compatible with 32-bit Vista was 11.1.5, which can be downloaded from oldapps.com. (If you are running 64-bit Vista, then you might have to roll back even further). Or you can ignore the DEP notifications and hope that Apple will eventually issue an update that was actually tested on Vista. (Do not disable DEP!) If you would like to read a long thread about this issue, see Windows Vista problem reports after latest Itunes 11.2 update .

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.

Data Execution Prevention ( DEP ) WINDOWS IE8

HI
I AM GEETING ERROR Data Execution Prevention ( DEP ) WHILE USING FORMS APPLICATION IN IE8 BROWSER .
IF I DISABLE DEP SETTING IN BOOT.INI IT WORKS....MY PROBLEM WITHOUT DISABLEING DEP HOW FORM APPLICATION CAN WORK..???
IS THERE ANY WAY ?
THANKS AND REGDS
SANTOSH

First, it is important to understand that this issue has nothing to do with Oracle and specifically Forms. This is a security mechanism in the OS/browser.
You do not need to edit the boot.ini to disable DEP. You can change it as follows:
Right click My Computer > Advanced > Performance Settings... > Data Execution Prevention
Click on the radio button labeled "*Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only*". Click on OK to accept the changes (if any).
The alternative, if you want DEP on for ALL programs and services, you will need to add javaw.exe to the exception list.
There have been reports which suggest that if you disable (uncheck) the browser setting "Enable third-party extensions" you may also get it working. I would not rely on this option. Disabling DEP is the correct way to deal with this since it is DEP causing the problem in the first place.

Data Execution Prevention on Twain Network Scanner

Hello users
I try to scan with a Twain driver to a Lanier scanner. The driver supports Vista. Scanning used to work perfectly on XP. Now under Vista I get the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) message which shuts down the Acrobat 9.0.0 Pro. Scanning with "Microsoft Office Document Scanning" works well.
What can I do except disabling DEP?
Tank you a lot for your help.
Best wishes
Roberto

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.

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.

DEP (Data Execution Prevention) is Windows "protecting you from yourself".

The options to disable it are there... but "only if you trust yourself not to blow up the whole Internet" (sarcasm).

How can I upgrade Software version 4.2.1 so that the Wondows Data Execution Prevention does not closr iTunes?

Hi I am trying to add some CD content to my iPod. Windows Data Execution Prevention closes itunes even though I have enanbled the iTunes exception. Is there an upgrade fro software version 4.2.1
which addresses this problem?

Welcome to the discussions,
you will lose your all music you did not buy it in the iTunes Store. The rest can be copied to the new computer by using "transfer purchases" from the File menu in iTunes.
Disable autosync in iTunes on the new computer before you connect, set up your account, authorize in the Store menu and set up at least one contact and event on the new computer, to be able to merge data after your device got erased during the first sync.
After transferring your purchases, back up manually by using "backup" from the same menu.
See what's included in the backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
After your device got wiped during the sync process, restore from that backup again.
It may be useful to create an own user account on the computer, to be sure the content from your ipod will have it's own iTunes library.

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).

Exchange performance and Data Execution Prevention

Hi
Is there any impact on Exchange server performance related to (DEP) Data Execution Prevention ? Should I exclude Exchange processes from DEP ?
I searched for any blog/forum post that would discuss this subject but had no luck finding any.
Regard,

Hi Grzegorz,
Data Execution Prevention is a Windows feature, not an Exchange server feature.
DEP is enabled on computers that are running Microsoft Windows Server by default.
In our lab, we often turn it on. Sometimes it can resulting that messaging performance is slower than expected. Besides, there is no official articles or blogs to explain how the Data Execution Prevention affect Exchange performance.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
Best regards,
