svchost error, and task manager not working...

[jociels]

hi, 1st excuse my English...

I keep getting error 'svchost.exe has stopped responding', and when I press
ALT+CTRL+DEL it says 'C:\Windows\32\VDMDBG.dll is either not desigened to
run on Windows or it contains error'.

Also, I dont know what prog is causing errors that says "DEP", and it says
it needs to be close.

Pls help, thanks a lot!

hi,
lemme suggest something ...
goto your desktop and right-click on your my computer icon and select
properties
on the left hand side goto advanced settings and then u'll receive a
popup in which you should select the advanced tab...
in the advanced tab click on settings button in the performance
option.. in the performance option choose the data execution prevention
tab and ...
then check if the option (radio button) in which it states
turn on DEP for all services that i select
then if u don't find the particular process you are looking for simply
add it using the add button and then uncheck the option and disable
it...

This is probably a bad idea. DEP (data execution prevention) is a
protective feature that guards against some malware as well as certain
types of program errors.

I don't have a Windows\32 folder; the OP might have meant Windows\System32.

I don't have a VDMDBG.dll anywhere in my Windows tree...it might be part of
a malware infection. Or not - I don't know.
