ITunes with Vista and data execution prevention

Hi,
I just installed iTunes on a Vista machine. But the data execution prevention doesn't allow to start the iTunes.exe. I even can't add an exception in vista, it complains that it is not possible for iTunes.exe.
What the **** could be wrong here?
Thanks for answers

Thank you kindly.
From the Start menu, click Open.
In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected and that "Hide extensions for known filetypes" is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now open your C:\Windows\System32\ directory. What files and/or folders can uour see in there with QuickTime in the filename or folder name?
(In a standard QuickTime installation on a 32-bit system you should see just two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • 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 -

  • HT1527 Can't open iTunes...windows connectivity test says that iTunes has stopped working -  Date execution prevention has closed iTunes.   What do I do now?

    I can't open iTunes...Windows connectivity test says that iTunes has stopped working....Date execution prevention has closed iTunes.  

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

  • 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,

  • What do I do with Windows Vista DEP (Data Execution Prevention)?

    I just installed Adobe Reader XI and it seems to run fine until I try and close it out. When I do, DEP steps in and stops it from closing. I'm not sure what to do.. Re-install Adobe Reader, disable DEP, install a patch? Please help

    This is a  document which talks about the same problem with Reader 9, you might want to try this with Reader XI as well

  • ITunes with Vista and fingerprint reader

    Hi
    I have a new iPhone and a PC running Windows Vista. Just after the installation of iTunes 8.0.2 when I try to login for authorization, iTunes freezes and the only way to close is Ctrl-Alt-Canc.
    Furthermore (yes, it's another question..) it is impossible to import from a separate disk a song purchased in iTunes Store.
    Any workaround?
    Many thanks for any answer.

    Definitely a Windows Vista issue unless it's iTunes specific ...
    Try playing a song in another program in Windows and see if the problem repeats itself. If it does, it's unrelated to iTunes completely and is a Windows issue. If it doesn't repeat itself, try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.

  • Volume changes on playback in iTunes - with Vista and a brand new computer

    When I playback any song, the volume slowly goes down. I have to manually turn up the volume, and then constantly adjust it up and down. How can I fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

The the data execution prevention pops up and says "to protect your computer, windows has closed this program. Data execution prevention (DEP) helps protect against damage from viruses and other threat." I tried excluding itunes from DEP on settings but it still doesn't work. I don't know what to do. please help me!!!

    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.

  • 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.

  • HT1222 "Data Execution Prevention" not letting ITunes launch. How do I remove DEP?

    How do I get rid of Data Execution Prevention!!!??? All of a sudden this annoying little program wont allow me to open Itunes!! I tried turning it off the way they said to but it still blocks itunes. I even reinstalled Itunes No luck  I still cant use Itunes  HELP!!!

    And no problem for "barging in"; your expertise in solving Windows issues is always welcome. Cheers.
    Thank you.
    The situation with these changed up a bit with the introduction of the iTunes 10.5.x versions and above. (A "new problem wearing old trousers" event.) I have a note in the Full Host Bar about it, though it's speculative. Here's the content of the post there:
    There's various possible causes for DEP errors when launching iTunes for Windows. But in recent times we've been able to get past a number of them by updating folk's QuickTime Player to the latest version. For example:
    Re: When I tried to update to 10.6.3 it failed
    The interesting thing about that is that since iTunes for Windows 10.5.x, you aren't supposed to need QuickTime for Windows componentry to be installed in order for iTunes for Windows to launch. So it's not likely that the DEP errors are being caused purely by the lack of QuickTime componentry on the PCs in question (or by the lack of new-enough versions of QuickTime componentry on the PCs in question).
    One putative mechanism for what's going on.
    I've noticed (in the course of other experimentation) that if the QuickTime Player is uninstalled on an XP system and iTunes for Windows (some version post 10.5.x) is launching, I can get a message saying that certain kinds of content can't be played because QuickTime isn't installed.
    So there's a task performed by iTfW when launched to check on the presence of certain types of QTfW componentry. If the answer is "that componentry is not present", a routine is run that shows the dialog saying that certain content can't be played.
    It's plausible that Data Execution Prevention is interpreting the routine that produces the dialog as being a malicious act on some systems, and throwing the DEP error when the routine is run.
    That would explain why updating (or possibly installing) the latest version of the QuickTime Player is getting people past the DEP errors. The check for QTfW componentry is run when itunes launches, but it determines that the componentry is present. So the routine that produces the dialog isn't run, and Data Execution Prevention doesn't feel compelled to throw the DEP error.

  • Data Execution Prevention makes my iTunes shut down. SOS!

    For no apparent reason, iTunes shuts down after about 1 minute with the message "data execution prevention has closed iTunes". I've looked online and tried everything. Help?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Can't open itunes due to data execution prevention error

    I am currently unable to open itunes due to a data execution prevention error.  I have tried to clear temp files, uninstall and reinstall and nothing seems to work.  I tried to disable DEP for itunes but nothing seems to work.  Can anyone help me?

    Try the following, one at a time:
    1. First Repair QuickTime.  START/CONTROL PANEL/ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS/highlight QUICKTIME, click REMOVE, then select REPAIR.
    Now test your itunes and see if you still have this problem
    2. If you have Codec installed, please uninstall it and test out your iTunes.
    3.  If all that fail, scan your system for possible Windows system file corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"  (for Win XP-just click command prompt)
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.
    Open iTunes and see if problem resolved.
