Daniel0 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Does anyone know how to prevent Data Execution Prevention (DEP) in Vista from messing with my apps? It often shuts down Firefox stating that it "protected" me. Truth is, the only thing it is doing is pissing me off. It's set to "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only", but I don't know how the f**k Firefox qualifies as any of those two things. There is a setting allowing me to enable it for all programs except those I explicitly choose to put on a whitelist, but it's refusing to put firefox.exe on it. Help, anyone?

Daniel0 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hmm... DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly' date=' it closes the program and notifies you.[/quote'] That must be the reason. I don't see why though. Firefox 3 uses the memory much more efficiently than their own Internet Exploder does.
