Data execution prevention

[Guest]

The data execution prevention is causing the running of my computer to
become quite unpleasant . Every time I open or close any program or file
windows explorer crashes and I have to wait a bit few minutes for the
"refresh"

Is there anyway to complete disable data execution prevention ?
I really believe that is the solution -- otherwise I'm going to tear my
hair out

How do you know that it is DEP that is causing your problem?

prevent etc....

"You receive a "Data Execution Prevention" error message in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005"

Windows XP Professional service pack 2.
Incidentally, it crashes my quicklaunch bar so that at each recovery I have
to re apply the toolbar setting.
As I said before seems to occur after i open a file or a drive- particularly
my E or G drives
G is seperate drive and E is a partition

Hii,

go to my computer right click properties > advanced > perfomance settings >
Data Execution Prevention > then select DEP for essential windows programs
and services only. this shd do the trick.

About DEP:

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) helps prevent damage from viruses and other
security threats that attack by running (executing) malicious code from
memory locations that only Windows and other programs should use. This type
of threat causes damage by taking over one or more memory locations in use
by a program. Then it spreads and harms other programs, files, and even your
e-mail contacts.
Unlike a firewall or antivirus program, DEP does not help prevent harmful
programs from being installed on your computer. Instead, it monitors your
programs to determine if they use system memory safely. To do this, DEP
software works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory
locations as "non-executable". If a program tries to run code-malicious or
not-from a protected location, DEP closes the program and notifies you.

Hope this helps...,
