This particular PC XP SP2 has been giving me all kinds of issues. I can not
even get into Windows Explorer. I get a Data Execution Prevention message.
This also means Control Panel and quite a few other things don't work.
Windows Explorer does however work in Safe Mode. Any ideas on how to
correct the problem?
Try to Turn the DEP OFF by doing this:
Right click My Computer and select properties, then on the System properties
click on Advanced Tab.
Then click on StartUp and Recovery Button, on the StartUp and Recovery
window click on Edit Button under System Startup and edit like this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=AlwaysOff.
Then click On Performance Button under Advanced tab, on Performance Options
click on Data Execution Prevention Tab and check this Radio Button:
(*) Turn on DEP for essential windows programs and services only.

If you have a third party shell running in the background can cause this
error to occur and an BHO on your Browser so with Process Explorer you will
see which is causing this error.
1- Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced .
Click on Programs tab then click Manage Add-Ins and Disable all non-Verified
Add-Ins there and Reboot your machine and try to open the Windows explorer
(you need to Renable the Add-Ins One-by-One later and see the culprit which
will cause the Error and Remove it or leave it disabled).
