When it tells me to browse for the folder to add (so this problem wont happen when I select that folder) it gives me the same box. Any suggestions? |

Post Number: 1310 Registered: Jan-06 | SYMPTOMS When you run a program in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following: Data Execution Prevention -- Microsoft Windows To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program. Name: program name Publisher: program publisher Data Execution Prevention helps protect against damage from viruses or other threats. Some programs might not run correctly when it is turned on. For an updated version of this program, contact the publisher. What else should I do? If you click Close Message, the program quits, and Windows Error Reporting gives you the option to send an error report. Back to the top CAUSE This behavior occurs because Microsoft Windows XP SP2 uses the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature to help prevent damage from viruses and from other security threats. DEP works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory locations as "non-executable." If a program tries to run code from a protected location, DEP closes the program and notifies you, whether the code is malicious or not. Back to the top RESOLUTION To avoid this behavior, contact your program vendor to see if an update is available that enables the program to work correctly with DEP. Back to the top WORKAROUND If your computer is set to apply DEP to all programs and services, the DEP error message will have a Change Settings button. If an update to the program is not available, follow these steps to add an exception for the program from the DEP error message: 1. When you receive the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section, click Change Settings. 2. Click to select the check box next to the program, and then click Apply. 3. When you are prompted to restart your computer, click OK two times, and then restart your system. You can also add an exception for the program by using System Properties in Control Panel. To do this, follow these steps:1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK. 2. Click the Advanced tab, click Performance, and then click Settings. 3. In Performance Options, click the Data Execution Prevention tab, and then click Add. 4. In the Open dialog box, locate and then click the program. 5. Click Open, click Apply, and then click OK. When you are prompted to restart your computer, click OK. Back to the top STATUS This behavior is by design. Back to the top MORE INFORMATION If your computer is configured to turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only, the Change Settings button will not be available from the DEP error message. You can view the DEP configuration for your computer in System in Control Panel. To do this, follow these steps:1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK. 2. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Performance, click Settings. 3. In the Performance Options dialog box, click the Data Execution Prevention tab. 4. Note if Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only or Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select: is selected. When your computer is configured to turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only, you cannot add an exception for a program. This is the behavior that is by design in Windows XP SP2. If your computer is configured to turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only, and the DEP error message continues to appear, a program may be installed that extends Windows functionality. This program may be installed so that it causes a DEP problem in an important Windows program or service. If this behavior is recent and has not occurred before, you may be able to prevent the DEP error message by removing recently installed programs.

Gold Member Username: LeewXXXX!!WWWW, Yokosuka, ... Holla Back Y... Post Number: 1312 Registered: Jan-06 | well Andrew, you got problem with the registry and (or) DLL library! You need to find a special program to fix the registry and DLL library! Use google for that...just tape it "Fix Dll Library" or "RUNDLL ERORR" and still There is no guarantee that the program will fix your comp for 100% !!! you can make copy of all yours files to some hard drive and re-install windows. After that, you have to visit the Microsoft Web site to get all updates! |

Post Number: 1313 Registered: Jan-06 | It's looks like your comp drive by the AMD Athlon and this the DLL file which one is corrupted: ntdll.dll try to update this file before you do something else! Do you remember when it happening? Maybe you installed some software? Or delete something? There is conflict in the system! check this out : http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?ntdll |

Silver Member Username: Motomattic3Post Number: 462 Registered: Oct-06 | can't you just do a system restore point? xp backs up your computer every month or so and you can choose when it wasn't giving you problems it keeps everything that you have installed, basically just going back to the restore piont. to access restore points go to start/run/ and type msconfig right above ok there should be a button that says launch system restore. once you click it a screen pops up that says restore my computer to an earlier time,click next and there will be a calander aprox 3months back or more select the date that your computer was runnin fine then let it work its magic. then walla! best torrent program=bitlord torrent look up sites: www.phazeddl.com (mostly rapidshare files) www.torrentreactor.net (actual torrents) |
