Hello,
I am using a Vista laptop and IE9. Recently I have started to receive a
message while browsing that a data execution prevention error has occurred
and IE has had to close to protect my computer. If I re-open the browser,
it continues to work properly for a while and then the same message could
appear again. It can occur on any page, sometimes when I'm on Amazon, eBay
or other similar sites which I wouldn't expect to cause any problems.
I have googled the problem and have found a solution, but I'd like to know
whether it's advisable to follow the recommendation or if I could be opening
up my PC to trouble. What has been suggested on several sites is to enter
the following into a command prompt running as administrator:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
I have already verified that DEP is set to "Turn on DEP for essential
Windows programs and services only".
If the suggestion isn't recommended, please could anyone give an alternative
I could try. This laptop is four years old and has only been coming up with
this problem for the last couple of months. I haven't installed any new
pieces of software which I would expect to have a bearing on it.
Thanks for any help.
Caroline.
