Data Execution Prevention problem on Windows with Safari

Hi. I'm running Safari 5.1.2 on Windows Vista Business. Whenever I try to print a web page (any page) Windows reports a Data Execution Prevention and closes Safari. I can always print the same web page from IE. How do I fix?

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

  • "Data Execution Prevention Problems" with Adobe 9.3 (Win)

    Dear All:
    I have recently submitted some applications with an Australian university, and this university has difficulties
    opening my MAC-generated PDF Portfolio. They keep insisting that there may be a virus, and I keep pointing
    out that maybe some of the bundled PDF files that seek a full-screen mode might cause this alarm in the
    Windblows context.
    The screen-shots they have sent me say this:
    1) Data Execution Prevention - Microsoft Windows
    To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program
    Name: Adobe Reader 9.3
    Data Execution Prevention helps protect against damage from viruses and other security threats. What should
    I do?
    2) Adobe Reader 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.
    For more information about this error, click here
    Now the only solution is for me to go somewhere and print out these PDF files, and then snail-mail them to HR;
    the "paperless office" idea has never worked very successfully, and now I have confirmation.
    Any help would be much appreciated. I never recall generating a virus on my MAC ....

    I am having the same problem with Acrobat Reader X.
    I am using Adobe Reader X and am constantly getting a Windows "data execution prevention" error every time I open and close a pdf file. What can I do to resolve this as Windows says it can not shut off "data execution prevention" for Adobe reader?

  • 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.

    Vista 64 bit
    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.)

  • 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.   

  • Data Execution Prevention (DEP) error

    Today I downloaded the latest iTunes version, but I can't get it to open. I continue to get a Windows message stating that iTunes has been closed to "protect my computer" via DEP. I unintalled both iTunes and Quicktime, reinstalled iTunes, cleared old Quicktime from the System32 folder, changed the DEP settings to allow iTunes, and have re-booted at least 20 times today. What am I supposed to do to get my iTunes back?

    After NUMEROUS times, I finally found a solution that worked for me.  I hope it will help someone else.  I found this after I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and all other Apple related files and folders many times.  Every time I installed iTunes 10.5, I still got the DEP error.  This is the soloution I found, although it is not a perfect solution, it's at least working until Apple comes out with a version of iTunes that will not trigger the DEP error.
    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

  • 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,

  • Problem with Windows Data Execution Prevention

    Hi. I'm running Safari 5.1.2 on Windows Vista Business. Whenever I try to print a web page (any page) Windows reports a Data Execution Prevention and closes Safari. I can always print the same web page from IE, and I can always print to PDF. How do I fix?
    LATE ADDENDUM: Now it won't  let me print to PDF either. I will have to stop using Safari - which would be a great pity as it syncs bookmarks so well to my iPad and iPhone

    I got this from someone.
    Acrobat X not printing
    I purchased Acrobat X several months ago and initially expereinced no problems printing. For the last week or so, I am unable to print PDF documents from Acrobat X. I can print successfully from any other program on my PC. I can also print successfully from Adobe Reader. However, when I open up the same PDF in Acrobat X, I click on print and select the defaul printer, a dialog box says my document is printed but nothing prints. The printer queue for the selected printer is blank.

  • 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/

    Welcome tocguy. If I may ask you a question: How much memory does your Vista x64 PC have? I have 3 GB, which is the maximum that 32-bit Vista can recognize, but I seem to recall that 64-bit Vista can utilize much more than that, and wonder if that might be why 64-bit users are scarce in the 11.2 thread.
    I have now also done a truly clean reinstall, deleting Apple folders in ProgramData and each user account's AppData folder, and even the iTunes folders in each user's Music folder. Of course I moved my iTunes Media folder to a safe location first, and one iTunes Library backup file suitable for version 11.1.5. I also cleaned the registry. The most I can say is that I sometimes don't get a BEX upon closing iTunes now, but usually I do. I deselected one default setting during installation, "Use iTunes as the default player for audio files." (If an audio file can be opened by Media Player 11, why would I want to open it in a program that gives me a BEX nearly every time I use it? Too bad my AAC files purchased at iTunes Store can't be opened by WMP, but I certainly won't be buying any more of those now.) My advice to other Vista users: Don't waste your time reinstalling, it won't solve the DEP problem.
    Ran the Program Compatibility Wizard to run iTunes in XP SP2 compatibility mode, but abandoned that idea after the first BEX.
    Thought I was onto something when I tried the registry fix at http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/06/17/to-dep-or-not-to-dep.aspx. Johnny DEP thought he was so slick when he saw iTunes listed as an exception in his DEP tab, but there was one minor problem (yes I did reboot):
    Oh well, it's probably a bad idea to allow buffer overruns anyway. The fact that this didn't work causes me to think that Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit or Application Compatibility Toolkit would also be a waste of time. Vista users who wish to avoid BEX errors can either downgrade their iTunes (free) or upgrade their Windows (not free).

  • Is iTunes compatible with Windows Data Execution Prevention?

    Is Itunes compatible with Windows Data Execution Prevention?
    Every time I open iTunes, the Data Execution Prevention Closes it Down. We Have Windows XP

    I finally got it to work by making sure that I was running itunes as the "administrator".  Here's what I did: Right click on itunes......click on 'run as'.....click on "administrator", it'll ask for a password.  If you don't know it (like me) create a new account user called "Admin" with a password.  Everytime you want to use itunes do this.  I know it's a pain but so far so good.  Hope this helps.

  • 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.

    I have a Windows XP Home Edition computer.   I recently attempted to upgrade iTunes to v10.7.  It loaded and installed OK, but now it won't run.  When I try to launch it, it gets aborted by the windows Data Execution Prevention software.  Any ideas?

    Yes, this did solve the problem.  But I had some trouble updating QuickTime.  It failed, with the installer complaining that it did not have the required permissions to install the files it needed in the program directory.  I got it to work by telling it to install the files to another directory.  All seems well now - Thanks!

  • Updated latest version of itunes onto windows xp.Can't open it.The Data Execution Prevention window comes up.I have followed all the directions of changing the settings.I have updated Quicktime.Still can't open it.

    I updated the latest version of itunes onto my pc (windows xp) and all of a sudden I can't open it up.  Everytime I try to open it I get a window that says: "Data Execution Prevention - Microsoft Windows...To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program.  Change settings."  I have tried to change the settings.  Uninstalled & reinstalled itunes.  Updated the lates version of quicktime.  Nothing has helped.  If there is anyone who has a suggestion I would appreciate it.  I am at my wits end with this.  Thank you in advance for all your suggestions.

    If anyone is looking at this and would like to know what I did to finally get it to work, I did the following:  I right click on the itunes icon on my desktop.......clicked on "run as"........made sure that it ran as administrator.   This finally worked for me.  Hope you all find this info helpful.

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