    DEP closes Windows Vista 64
    « on: December 30, 2011, 07:53:28 PM »
    Hi, I need advice. I am running IE9 on Windows Vista 64 Bit. I have Comcast Xfinity high speed internet service. For the past month, Windows routinely stops working and closes and I get the Data Error Prevention notification, message saying it will search for solution and then it reopens the page I had been looking at. This happens repeatedly when I am on the Internet regardless of what site I am at. I never had this problem when I used Comcast Xfinity high speed internet in Georgia but now I am in Florida it is a constant and annoying problem. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you. :'(

    Personally, I disable DEP on all system. I just find it too intrusive. If it's something you want to try, look here: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/120778-dep-enable-disable.html

      I don't think you'll have any negative reactions.

      I don't think I've ever seen a DEP dialog on any of my systems. I just double-checked my desktop, and it is enabled...
      I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      For the most part you won't know it's there. But if it doesn't like something it lets you know - frequently.
