Data Excecution Error in Vista w/IE7 and Sun Java

[Mark R. Cusumano]

I installed Sun Java Runtime 6.0.1 and now anytime any page with Java on it
loads in IE7. IE7 stops running and tells me it was shut down due to a Data
Execution Error. I know this is not due to a virus on the site because the
sites this occurs on are the Java site itself an my bank. Any ideas? The
web sites load fine if I disable Java in the browser albeit the Java stops
working).

You can turn off DEP completely with this command from an elevated command
prompt

bcdedit /set nx alwaysoff

or you can configure its settings for particular programs via

Control Panel (Classic View) > System > Advanced System Settings > Settings
(under performance) > Data Excecution Prevention
eg making an exception for iexplore.exe (C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe)
