"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?

    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).

  • 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.

  • How do I disable future iOS updates till later date to prevent problems with non iOS compliant Apps?

    Hello first time post here so excuse me if my posting etiquette is off and this seems lengthy.
    I am a beginning tech (4 months) in a school district that has started the 1 to 1 initiative with iPads (iPad 2).
    There is a huge learning curve I am facing as I don't know hardly anything about the new piece of software - apple Configurator. (A side note I was issued my very first iPad in the same time working for the district. BTW liking the iPad a lot).
    I am looking for friendly beginning user info on how to operate the Apple Configurator - suggestions? At this time I have only served in an observer capacity as it assigned to someone else in the district to do. However I know this person would appreciate another mind to help out  around the problem so I need to get up to speed.
    This a story of bumps and scrapes and bruises on the 1-1 initiative in the district and its 4 major hiccups have occurred (that I observed).
    I am hoping others have discovered these problems and figured out a way to handle them or avoid them and would be willing to share what you did.
    Here goes...
    The district started the 1-1 initiative roughly 3 years ago. They had a person in the middle school (way before me) in charge of the iPads. They used the IPhone Configurator device to manage the iPads. My understanding was this was very slow. That person was finally able to retire and took their knowledge they had of the iPhone Configurator utility that they used with them.The district chose to start using the Apple Configurator software this year for iPad management.
    We have a brand new person that has been put in charge of this. The person did not know the software either (nor did anyone else in the district).This person has made great strides to learn the software. However there has been some issues along the way:
            1. The school where the iPad 1-1 initiative is a middle school. The students are assigned the same iPad for all three years. As 6th graders come in they are issued an iPad. As the 8th grade finishes up, they head on to high school and the iPads gets recycled to the next 6th graders walking in the door. Each grade level has there own set of apps, so the (finished) 8th graders iPads get reset for the next 6th graders walking in.
    The issue is (my understanding) is that the volume purchase apps did not always revert back to the Apple Configurator/App store spread sheets before the iPads were reset. It took an act of congress with Apple to refund these apps because they were lost. Mind you we have 400 iPads in just this school alone so you can see why it was important to get these Volume Purchase Apps refunded to put on the new 6th graders iPads. $$$
             2. When the iPads were given to the students, the Apps would not work and all they would do is shake for a second. The iPads were recollected and redone. Time away from the students and classes.
            3. The iPads were refinished (with all the apps reinstalled) and given to the students. Then the students were given instructions in class how to manually setup their exchange email accounts on their iPads. Turns out the restrictions on the iPads (from the apple Configurator) were set up so the email info they put in could not verify with the exchange server. They wouldn't send or receive. So the iPads were all recalled back (time away from students and their classes again) and redone with the restrictions/ apps reinstalled.
            4. Most recent problem... iOS6 came out and all of a sudden we find out that two of our biggest 3rd party Apps were having problems with it. So it made the Apps at that point worthless. (These are paid for - expensive, most used by the school Apps).  Well there was no way to prevent the students from updating to IOS6 on their own (mind you they can't get to the App Store) but they can do the iOS6 update whenever they want. Before the problem was discovered, students were prompted by their iPads and they started doing the iOS6 update. I discovered this and immediately had the secretary send out emails to everyone do not download this thing because it was making problems for existing installed Apps. Of course there are were a few more students that were like "this don't apply to me right?" and they downloaded it anyways.
    So after 3 weeks of these apps not working, App update/releases were finally given and they are working again. So far we have only fixed some of iOS6 kids that are in need of those two broken apps.
    Now we are at a crossroad with the other 95 installed apps to consider ... if we let the students update to iOS6 to fix the two broken apps will it interfere with the other 93 apps that are working under iOS5.1...
    This iOS update thing would be better considered in the summer time for us (for future iOS updates).
    So I need to know is there away to prevent this in the future? Is there away to hold off the iOS updates till summer? I've seen people say control it by blocking it through the network but it doesn't prevent them from doing this at home. Where in the apple Configurator can we control this?
    Thanks for reading.

    You will not be able to block IOS 6.  You can try blocking it with a webfilter or firewall but if the students take these home or connect to another network or iTunes they can get it that way.   You will find that the vast majority of all apps will work with 6 or have been updated to work with it by now.

  • "Data Execution Prevention" prevents Reader 9.0 & 9.1 from running

    When I try running Adobe Reader 9.0 or 9.1, the Windos "Data Execution Prevention" feature prevents it from running. I just received a new DELL computer with Vista Home Premium OS with Adobe 9.0 already installed. When I run the Adobe Reader, it stops executing because it is using a part of memory reserved for system files. Windows states that "Data Execution Prevention" has stopped the program to prevent possible corruption. I downloaded version 9.1 and still have the same problem. I downloaded the "light" version of Version 9.1 and still have the same problem. If I try running from Firefox or from the Desktop icon, I still have the same problem. When I try from the Control Panel to set Data Execution Prevention to exempt Adobe Reader, I get a message that Adobe Reader needs to run under DEP and cannot be exempted. So, I can't run Adober Reader 9.1 becasue Windows "Data Execution Prevention" stops it. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    I have a user experiencing the same problem.  Opening the program itself (not by executing a pdf file) end up crashing Adobe immediately.  Initiating Adobe Reader from a PDF file, it appears to crash during "Initializing DigSig(2).api".  As other users have noted in other threads pertaining to this problem, Data Execution Prevention pops up a message basically telling the user that the program was blocked and to make an exception.  When I try to do this for AcroRd32.exe, DEP complains that the program must run with DEP enabled and it cannot be turned off for this program. I've installed Foxit Reader as a temporary work-around, but we have a lot of industry-specific programs that rely heavily on Acrobat Reader and I fear it may have a much more far-reaching problem since Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 is dead-in-the-water.  Anyone have any thoughts on this?  Is Adobe/MS working on a solution?
    Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 64-bit
    Internet Explorer 7
    Acrobat Reader 9.2.0.124
    I've tried uninstalling, then reinstalling as normal and no joy.  I downloaded the "lite" and stand-alone installer from the ftp site, still crashes Reader.  The error as reported by the Event Viewer:

  • 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
    4. Apple Mobile Device Support

  • 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.

  • When I am attaching documents to a new e-mail I am getting Data Execution Prevention error and crashing firefox? What can I do to overcome this problem.

    When I am making a new e-mail and trying to attach a document(Word, Wordperfect or pdf file, an error occures because of the Data Execution Prevention and crashes the program? What need to be done to correct this issue. I was able to do this a few weeks ago with no problem.

    DEP errors can be caused by plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that aren't working properly.

    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.

  • 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.
