Data Execution Prevention keeps closing Plugin Container

I'm running Firefox 3.6.8 on Windows Vista. When a website is using Flash, I often get the little "The Adobe Flash Plugin has Crashed" message in the gray box, but I also get a Windows notification by the taskbar saying that DEP has closed Plugin Container. Certain websites are okay--I have no problem with YouTube. But others are horrible; for example, JCPenney's website has a Flash menu and is completely unnavigable.

Make sure that your security software isn't blocking the plugin-container process.
Try to disable Out-Of-Process-Plugins.<br />

    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).

  • 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??

  • TS1717 data executiion prevention keeps closing my itunes,but itunes wont run without it.help !

    data execution protection keeps closing my itunes on my sony vaio.also get the messge c:\windows\system32softpub.dll.tried turning of the DEP but itunes wont run without it.no problems with any other programs.any thoughts

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with a Windows operating system file there.
    Perhaps try an sfc /scannow. For instructions, see the following Microsoft document:
    How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • Cannot run Quicktime or iTunes - Data Execution Prevention

    I have tried to install quicktime and itunes and when i run them windows vista home tells me that Data Execution Prevention has closed the application. I have removed itunes and quicktime and just tried installing quicktime - and i get the same error.
    I tried turning off DEP for quicktime - but windows tells me that it cannot be turned off for Quicktime.
    Any solution to this?
    Thanks!

    What are you doing when iTunes or Quicktime crashes? Does it crash on launch?
    Have you ever installed a 3rd party Quicktime alternative -- i.e. you downloaded and installed Quicktime from a non-Apple source? (There are some codec vendors that repackage / redistribute Quicktime. I recommend only installing Quicktime from the Apple web site or Apple Update Software.)
    When you uninstalled Quicktime, did you do the scorched earth version of the Quicktime uninstall -- where you uninstall, then run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility and then manually search for Quicktime files (particularly in your system folder) and delete them?
    What I'm concerned about is that you have a partial, non-standard Quicktime install on your machine.
    Do you have any third party iTunes plugins or Quicktime codecs installed?

  • 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 .
