DEP error on CS2 in Vista

I've done some googling and troubleshooting but can't seem to find a fix for this. We've recently "upgraded" to Vista at work. We run Photoshop CS2 (with unfortunately no plans of upgrading in the very near future). Installation of CS2 appeared to be fine, but didn't seem to activate properly. I closed it out, made sure the old copy of CS2 was deactivated on our previous computer. When I reopened CS2 on Vista (64 bit), it asks me to register. Whatever I do with the registration fields doesn't seem to matter, photoshop immediately shuts down with the following Date Execution Prevention error:

A strange thing is that I can't even try uninstalling photoshop to try reinstalling. Trying to run Windows Installer on Photoshop brings up the same error.

I've gone into the DEP settings and manually set it to ignore photoshop and run it without DEP oversight, but it's made no difference.
I thought I'd read that CS2 generally ran fine in Vista (32bit or 64bit), but obviously it's not working here. Any thoughts?

With Vista you have to run the .exe file as Admin.
Also insure that in msconfig, that in the start up tab, Adobe CS2 Service Manager is checked. (least in CS4 it is called that so it should be the same or close to it.
Also if you google PS CS2 and Vista you will see that on a lot of systems there are issues running it.
Edit: also when you do get it up and running to update CS2 and also if you have video card driver problems to update those too.

  • Itunes will not open due to DEP error.  I cannot resolve on VIsta

    I am suddenly get DEP errors which will not allow Itunes to open at all.  I have deleted and reinstalled itunes with no luck.  I tried to remove Itunes form the DEP list and the error says itunes cannot be removed from the DEP list.  I am running Vista and need help to get around this problem.  Thanks.

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

  • 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
    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 have Windows Vista Home.  
    I hope this is helpful to someone. It's just what worked for me.

  • Windows DEP error when scanning in Acrobat Pro 9.2

    Hi--
    I scan in Acrobat Pro using create docuemnt>from scanner, via a TWAIN driver.  I upgraded from 9.1.3 to 9.2 recently, last week sometime, and this is the first time I've tried to scan.  If I try to scan, I get an error that Windows DEP is closing the program (note: I don't know why the image below says 9.1, as the version is 9.2).  I triec the DEP settings from the defualt for essential windows programs and services to specifically excluding Acrobat 9.  I also repaired my Arcrobat 9 installation.  I have Windows XP SP3, no new Windows updates are available.  None of those things fixed the problem.  Help!

    I started having this issue about a month ago and have done some systematic testing regarding this.  First some particulars:
    OS = Windows XP SP3, all updates installed and current.
    Scanner = RICOH IS330DC with TWAIN driver
    Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.x and 9.2 (see S.O.E below for explanation)
    Scanning operations were typicaly done through AA using the scanners "Native" interface.  MSOffice Document Scanning was also used.
    Sequence of Events:
    Installed WXP aprox. June of 2008, have been installing all updates automaticaly
    Installed AA 8.x at the same time, installing all updates as they are released.
    Performed scanning operations on a daily basis of over a year with NO DEP errors (thousands of scan operations on a daily basis)
    Scanning operations slowed beginning of October of 2009 but still had not received any DEP errors.
    Scanning resumed November 5, 2009.  Started scanning process from within AA (Create new PDF from...Scanner).  AA scan dialogue window opened, selected scan button.  Waited for Adobe to open "Native" scanner interface.  Received the following message instead:  "To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program".
    Attempted to scan with AA 9.2 NOT using native scanner interface, received identical result.
    Upgraded to AA 9.2, on November 10, 2009
    Scanned a document both with and without using "Native" scanner interface.  No change in DEP message.
    Attempted to add AA 9.2 to "exclusion" list in DEP settings (OptIn setting).  I did not receive the message regarding DEP "must be enabled for Adobe Acrobat" that some have reported (possibly specific to Vista/W7 installations?).  Although windows allowed adding AA to DEP exclusion list, results were the same.
    Scanned a document using MS Office Document Scanning feature and using scanner "Native" interface.  NO DEP MESSAGES RECEIVED.
    Scanned a document using MS Office Document Scanning feature WITHOUT using scanner "Native" interface.  NO DEP MESSAGES RECEIVED.
    Disabling DEP (AlwaysOff) does resolve the problem but is NOT recommended as DEP is a critical security feature.  As such this work-around is NOT acceptable.
    The results of the testing were:
    Windows and specificaly DEP are allowing the Microsoft supplpied MS Office Document Scanning utility to use the same RICOH supplied drivers and "Native" scanner interface that DEP is NOT allowing Adobe Acrobat to use.  Simply put, even though in WXP I can add Acrobat 9.2 to the exclusion list, Windows DEP still will not allow Acrobat 9.2 to exectue programs or drivers on it's own.  Which is why I believe this is not a RICOH driver issue but either a Microsoft issue or Adobe issue or most likely Microsoft having an issue with Adobe Acrobat.
    Yes, a workaround would be to use MS Document Scanning and right now that is what I am having to do.  However I find it terribly inconvenient that I have to go an extra step to convert thousands of pages of text from tiff to pdf. when I have paid hundreds of dollars for Acrobat to do it directly to .pdf .  Besides, the custom programming and batch job features I use and rely on were developed specificaly for Acrobat and REQUIRE me to use it and not some other utility.  It is simply NOT cost effective for me to use MS Document Scanning and still be able to provide the services I provide.
    My questions are these:
    Is Adobe actively addressing this issue?
    Why is MS Office Document Scanning able to use the scanner drivers and dialogue window when Adobe Acrobat can not?  Why is MS Windows specificaly identifying secondary code execution by Adobe Acrobat as a problem while secondary code execution by MS office is considered acceptable?
    What happened over the last three months that suddenly made DEP aware of Adobe Acrobat being untrustworthy in regards to code execution where as before it WAS trustworthy, at least in regards to Windows XP installations.
    Prior to this issue I had NEVER even heard of DEP (again Windows XP user).  Did Microsoft release a DEP upgrade to Windows XP users that we were not aware of?  Did Microsoft include DEP as a new feature in a recent WXP SP3 security update (over the last three months) and this is why we are seeing this now?
    Regardless of When DEP was released and for who (WXP, Vista, W7), my questions #1 and #2 are still valid.  Can someone at Adobe please address this?
    ****** UPDATE #1 - 11/23/2009 ******
    When adding items to the DEP exclusion list, it will only allow the addition of ".exe" (executables).  I have not been able to find a way of adding .dll files or any other extension types.

  • DEP error when going to Store

    System Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP 2
    QuckTime ver 7.7.3 (latest)
    Itunes ver 11 (latest and an earlier version) installs and functions with local devices.  When I try to go to the Itunes Store I get a data execution prevention DEP error after the Store has partially opened.  Falling back to Ver 10.5 or 10.6 returns my access to the Store.
    Does anybody have a clue on how to solve this with Ver 11?

    Never mind.  Fix was in iTunes 11 crashes when opening the store - no error message which of course I didn't find by searching until after I asked this question.

  • Help missing for PS CS2 on Vista

    I installed both Premiere Pro 2.0 and Photoshop CS2 on Vista. The Help files are available for Premiere Pro 2.0 but not available for Photoshop CS2. Tried all steps outlined in Adobe TechNote 319210 for cases when Help Center content is missing. However, none of these steps solved the problem. Help for Photoshop CS2 is still not listed in Help Center.
    Thanks for any tips or directions on getting Help to work for Photoshop CS2 running on Vista.

    Thanks for the replies. Tried the following, as suggested, but no success.
    1) Looked in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Help\en_US\ but no Photoshop or Premiere folder. There was an Adobe Reader folder with the Help.html however.
    2) Went to FAQs and followed steps provided in post there. Cleared the Help Preferences, then deleted the Cache, Database, Preferences, and Search folders under ...\AdobeHelpData\. Left the Packages folder with the Photoshop_9.0_en-us.zip and PremierePro_2.0_en-us.zip files, then double clicked the ahc.exe file. Help Center appeared but no indication that rebuilding was taking place, and the Help Center content was empty (not even Premiere Pro). I looked at the directory structure under ...\AdobeHelpData\ and Help Center did rebuild the folders previously deleted.
    Restored folders under ..\AdobeHelpData\ to original status and executed Help Center again. As expected, Premiere Pro appeared in the content but not Photoshop CS2.
    The product version of Help Center I am using on Vista is 2.1.212002.0.
    Tried to reinstall Help Center (using download from Adobe), but installation was aborted. The error mesg only said that a problem occurred, but gave no details.
    I do not think this is a Vista problem since Help Center works fine with Premiere Pro 2.0. However, not sure.
    Is there anything else I can try?

    CS2 is completely unsupported under Vista and 64 bits adds more problems.
    Best advice is to upgrade. CS5 will be shipping soon.

  • Photoshop CS2 und Vista

    Arbeiten mit Photoshop CS2 unter Windows Vista.

    Hi,
    bei mir funktionierte Photoshop CS2 einwandfrei unter Vista, bis heute. Vista installierte einige Sicherheitsupdates und danach wollte ich Photoshop starten. Auf einmal sagt mir das Programm, dass es eine Aktivierung benötigen würde und dass eine Aktivierung über das Netz ausgeschlossen sei.
    Ich musste also telefonisch aktivieren. Nachdem die Nummer weder einen Anruf von One, A1 noch Bob akzeptierte, musste ich vom festnetz anrufen. Glücklicherweise fand ich noch einen Haushalt, in dem es Festnetz gibt.
    Nachdem der Computer meine Eingabe des Keys nicht packte wurde ich zu einem Mitarbeiter weiterverbunden, bei dem ich erstmal meinen Unmut verkündete. Dieser schien jedoch eigentlich nur überrascht, dass Photoshop CS2 unter Vista überhaupt funktioniert. Nach der Eingabe des erhaltenen Aktivierungsschlüssel funktioniert mein Photoshop jedenfalls wieder, vielleicht aber nur, bis zum nächsten Vista-Update.
    Die Empfehlung von Adobe dazu: Ich solle doch einfach mein Produkt mindestens auf CS3 updaten, damit es keine Probleme mit Vista gäbe...
    Servus, Michael

  • Itunessetup.exe couldn't be downloaded error message for for vista.

    itunessetup.exe couldn't be downloaded error message for for vista. Couldn't get the update so I uninstalled itunes and still get the error message. I tried reconfiguring the start up components with no luck. anybody know how to fix this?

    I actually had started on this before your post but you are right. My luck created some issues but after I got around that it worked. I uninstalled everything in the order it needed to. While I was doing this windows had an update. When I restarted something must have went wrong with the update and it crashed on the start up. took me a while to restore it but when I was done it brought back the programs in their damaged state.
    So I did the uninstall process again. restarted. and reinstalled and it all works now.
    Thank you for the help.
    For those reading this the order to uninstall goes as:
    iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support, iCloud, and finally MobileMe. Skip over any you don't have installed. Then Restart then reinstall itunes.

  • Adobe 9.2 and DEP errors while printing

    I recently upgraded to Adobe 9.2 from 9.1 and now have started to experience DEP errors while trying to print.
    I have tried to turn DEP off for 9.2 but it does not seem to be solving the problem.  I am not sure that I have turned off DEP for the right exe.  I did check the bock in the DEP window (said adobe 9.1) and also added the link for adobe pro from the start/programs/ adobe pro window.
    Any help?

    Thanks!  I found the work around!!!

  • Java Plug-in version mismatch crash IE8 with DEP error

    We are running Windows XP SP3 with IE8 and some of our internal sites that require JRE will crash the browser with a DEP error. The machines that exhibit this behaviour have multiple versions of JRE installed. However, we haven't been able to nail it down to specific version(s). The only common thread we can find is when looking at the IE8 add-on list the Java plug-in doesn't look quite right. The name column will show "Java Plug-in 1.6.0_19" but the version column lists 1.6.0.7. Has anyone seen that where the name of the Java plug-in add-on doesn't match the version column? I still can't repro the version mismatch issue yet and we've only seen it on a handful of machines so far. However, we are getting ready to rollout IE8 to our enterprise and I want to get a handle on this issue.
    I have found two workarounds so far. One is to the disable the Java Plug-in with the version mismatch issue. Then it will fall back on one of the other JRE versions installed. The second workaround is to install the latest version of JRE which also resolves the issue. Seems like a no brainer but in our environment we have requirements for specific versions of JRE and simply pushing out the latest version to everyone may break the other apps.
    Anyone heard of this behaviour before?

  • Constant Firefox crashes after 3.6.4 update. DEP error given.

    Since the update the 3.6.4, and updating all plug-ins, I have constant and seemingly random crashes of Firefox with non-descript DEP error as the reason. Crashes have occurred doing a Google.ca search, watching a video of Youtube, using my university's student services website, and many browsing many others. The crashes occur approximately 15 times an hour, not evenly spaced. Crashes twice trying to submit this report.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Updated to Firefox 3.6.4, Updated all plug-ins

    I have XP Home Edition, numerous add-ons like CoolIris, Coolpreviews.
    When I got 3.6.3 Firefox, the crashes started. Seemed to associate more with some websites than others.
    Now that I have 3.6.4, the crashes are three out of four times that I attempt to open Firefox, even just with the basic welcome screen with the Google searchbox.
    Is anybody working on this? Are there any proven fixes? Last time I searched I found a lot of speculation and "try this", but I haven't located an authoritative white paper on the problem from Mozilla.
