Data Execution Prevention preventing iTunes from working

I have iTunes 8.0.2.20 running on Windows Server 2008 SP1. Whenever I plug in my iPod Nano, Data Execution Prevention (DEP) shuts down iTunes. I can't create an exception for iTunes in DEP since it gives the following error message:
+"This program must run with data execution protection (DEP) enabled. You cannot turn off DEP for this program."+
Any ideas on what might be causing this issue?

No, i do not have quickTime player.
I have tried to close dep off for iTunes but failed to do so as i got a msg that iTunes can't work without Dep in execution data prevention.

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

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.)

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended(Vista Ultimate) Data Execution Prevention-program stops working.

When I open Acrobat 9 Pro Extended using Vista Ultimate, I get the message: " Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem. Check online for a solution and close."
"To help protect your computer, Data Executuion Prevention has closed Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Click to learn more."
Should I change the settings? Will it harm my computer? Shouldn't the software be compatible with Windows Vista Ultimate?

Can you please post the scanner brand with which you see the crash?

DEP Data Execution Protection prevents itunes from working?

Hi
I'm hoping for some help as DEP on Windows XP keeps closing itunes despite the changing the settings on DEP in the windows control panel (i.e. whether itunes is ticked or unticked in the appropriate panel). I do not think I have any quicktime programmes installed which seems to have related issues. Advice much appreciated, Thank you in advance.

Doublechecking. If you install the latest version of the QuickTime Player, does that clear up the iTunes DEP?

How do I keep Windows Data Execution Prevention (DEP) from repeatedly closing Firefox?

Problem started after I installed the last Firefox update. I will be on line then Firefox is shut down and I get a message in a small window that it was shut down Windows DEP which is a security feature in Vista. After a time lapse of several minutes and a reboot of the computer Firefox will start working again but eventually it is shut down again after executing an enter, send, delete or other such command.

Data Execution Prevention in Vista prevents itunes from running. WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?

Is there no solution to this problem? The Windows site says keep checking the Apple site to get a version of iTunes that is compatible with the issues between the Data Execution Prevention in Windows Vista and any of the later versions of iTunes. Problem is, IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT APPLE REALIZES THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. If there is a solution, or a patch that can be downloaded, or anything, I would really appreciate knwoing about it. The last time I had this problem was when I updated to iTunes 10.0. It took most of 3 weeks to figure out a fix for that. Now, I have a new phone, and it will not sync unless itunes 10.5 or later is installed. I tried updating to that, and now I'm back to square one with the DEP problems. Please help!!!! thanks!!

OK, lets do a complete overhaul to make sure it's working ok.
First to check your Windows system file for any corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer.
Start iTunes and see if it is ok.
If it doesn't, will have to go through the whole process of uninstalling and installing acccording to the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
(Referenceinstructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components)

try to select the computer cd/dvd autorun off.
I had the same problem, then Kaspersky software found a conflict suggesting me this solution.
Itunes now works...even if it always asks to set the cd/dvd autorun on when lunched.

Data Execution Prevention prevents itunes from opening on my user ID, but not every other user ID.

I completely deleted every Apple file from my computer. There are 4 user IDs on my computer. Mine is the Administrator, my husband's ID my son's ID. and a completely new ID I set up to see if I could get iTunes to work.
I reinstalled iTunes 10.5 on my Administrator ID. The installation went fine, but iTunes will not open in my ID, or my husband's ID. I get the message that Data Execution Prevention has closed it. iTunes will open in my son's ID, as well as the new ID I set up for iTunes testing.
I have tried uninstalling (deleting ALL Apples files) and reinstalling on my ID as a Standard user. Same thing. iTunes doesn't work on my ID or husband's, but does on the other 2 User IDs.
I have not activated Microsoft Outlook on the 2 IDs where iTunes works. Outlook is activated on the other 2 User IDs.
Does something about Outlook cause me to get the DEP error? Is there a way to fox this problem? I really don't want to have to go to a completely different User ID everyt ime I want to use iTunes.
I am using Windows Vista Home Deluxe, and installing the 64-bit iTunes download on the Apple.com website.
I have used instructions from several documents here on the Apple boards. The ones I use most are "iTunes for Windows:Doesn't open after upgrading in Windows Vista of Windows 7". "iTunes for Windows of Windows 7:Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues", and on this one, I followed the instructions for user-specific troubleshooting. I also followed the instructions in "General installation troubleshooting".
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes so many times, i can almost do it in my sleep. Somebody please help. My iPhone and iPod need updating!! Thanks!!!

HT201413 suddenly itunes will not open and I get a message that the "Data Execution Prevention" is blocking itunes from opening....why????

itunes will not open and I get a message that the "Data Execution Prevention (DEP)" feature in Windows is preventing it from opening. (this is after I've been using itunes for years???? If I try to manually deselect itunes from the DEP filter, of course I get a message that itunes cannot operate without the DEP active...another Catch 22 from the evil program designers....

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I updated to itunes 10.6 but now it won't open as it says it stops working because of the Data Execution Prevention

I recently updated toitunes 10.6 but now it won't open as it says it stops working because of the Data Execution Prevention and i've followed the windows help and everything but still can't get it to work. i usually never have a problem when i update.

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).

Updated itunes - windows quickly shuts it down and says something about "Data Execution Prevention". I followed the instrucxtions to a dead end. I have re downloaded it twice and used the repair files once but get the same result. It worked fine before I updated it to death.

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

I have been trying to work on my homework all afternoon, via NAU's blackboard system. I am continuously getting booted out of the system, with an error stating "Data execution prevention". How can I prevent this from continuing?

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

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