Uninstalling ZoneAlarm and rebooting between James' first two comments did nothing but turn the Windoze firewall ON. You can turn it off, but the OS will instantly reload it.įWIW, I disabled ZoneAlarm yesterday, but no improvement. The "memory locations that only Windows… should use" is especially rich since Windows Explorer is the archetypical Windows program, alway running.
To open System Properties, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.Īlas, if DEP is crashing Windows Explorer, there is no way to open Control Panel.(sigh) How can I tell if DEP is available on my computer?
Unlike a firewall or antivirus program, DEP… …memory locations that only Windows and other programs should use… I can't post any photos, however, because Start|Settings|Control panel simply flashes the screen as Explorer crashes and then promptly reloads.Ĭlicking the "What should I do?" leads to the following description of Understanding Data Execution Prevention (DEP), the apparent culprit. In other words, I have no way of configuring my system or uninstalling software. (Not shown is the third message that sometimes appears from the Dr Watson debugger.)Įspecially galling is the fact that these folders include Control Panel. (I've used their free firewall on every machine for years and their antivirus product on my old laptop for two.)Įvery since, whenever I try to access MyDocuments, M圜omputer, Recycle Bin, Unused Desktop Items, and other special Windows folders-or open the Quick Launch folder- Windows Explorer crashes.
