My computer keeps crashing...it closes my internet and then reopens and says it is for data execution prevention

If your Internet Explorer keeps randomly crashing (closing by itself), there may be an add-on or temporary page disrupting the connection. Every time you browse the web, Internet Explorer keeps track of the websites you visit. It keeps these pages, along with cookie trackers, in the "Temporary Browsing History" folder. Some websites cause Internet Explorer to crash.

Open the Internet Explorer browser. Go to "Tools > Delete Browsing History." Hit "Delete All." Check off the box that says "Also delete files and settings stored by add-ons." Hit "OK." Close and reopen the browser. b> Disable Add-Ons b> Go to "Start > Search." Type "Internet Explorer" and hit "Enter." The computer will search for any files with this label. Double-click on the file that says "Internet Explorer (No Add-Ons)." This will allow you to browse in IE without any additional plug-ins or add-ons that might be causing the browser to crash. b> Reset Internet Explorer b> Open the IE browser. Go to "Tools > Internet Options." Hit "Advanced." Click on "Reset" and then hit "Enter." Close and reopen the browser.

LAN Connection Issues and Port Settings LAN-based matches between players on your internal home network are not routed through the Internet or Battle.net servers. Disconnections from LAN matches are attributed to faulty internal wiring or router settings. Log in to your router's administration page via a Web browser and ensure ports 6112 through 6119 TCP are open for traffic flow. If this does not work, check your network wiring and ensure it's properly seated in the computer's and router's Ethernet ports. Corrupt Server List and Virus Attack If you have recently downloaded any maps or connected to privately hosted servers, it's possible you picked up a virus that altered your server file list and is directly causing connection issues. Scan your computer for viruses, using an updated virus definition database. b> Multiple IP Connections b> If you and a friend share a single license or key, disconnects occur if you attempt logging in while the other is playing or vice versa. Key sharing is against the Terms of Use and can lead to an IP ban or restriction. Ensure no one else has access to your CD key or tries to access the game while you are playing to avoid multiple IP disconnects. b> High Latency Disconnects Internet connections with latency over 500 ms can cause disconnects while playing in heavily populated online matches. Alleviate this issue by closing all connection-intensive programs running on your computer. Reconnect to the .net servers with only running on your computer. If you continue experiencing disconnects, visit Speedtest.net and determine whether your latency is above 500 ms. If so, contact your Internet provider for further troubleshooting.

Hi there

When you say that not able to download the flash player using IE and if it got crashed then i'd say please try to add the IE in DEP list.
To do :
Right click on My computer and click on properties.
Go to advanced and click on first settings button.
I've attached the screen shot.
Click on Data Execution Prevention and Choose turn ON option.
add the IE in that list.
Now try downloading flash it should fix the issue.

DEP (data execution prevention) attempts to separate "data" (such as the text of a webpage) from "instructions" ("move the string 'abc' to locations '12345/12346/12347'"), to prevent computer-hackers from introducing "data" (downloaded from a maliciously-constructed web-page) into an area marked as "instructions". The "threat" here is that the "data" will actually be "instructions" of the hacker's choosing, thus giving the hacker a chance to run instructions to completely "take-over" control of your computer.

Click "Start"
Click "All Programs"
Click "Accessories"
Click "System Tools"
Click "Internet Explorer (no add-ons)"
Do some web-surfing.
Close Internet Explorer.
If it closes "normally", then one of the "add-ons" that usually is loaded when Internet Explorer starts is causing the DEP exception.

Start Internet Explorer.
Click Tools
Click Manage Add-ons.
Choose one "suspicious" add-on, and "disable" it.
Close I.E.
If it closes normally, then that add-on should _stay_ as "disabled".

I got the same problem here with the same printer. however it prints well using words and pdf. it says Data Execution Prevention (DEP) problem when it crashes, but it still crashes when I put the explorers as exception for DEP. Anyone could help?

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that helps prevent damage from viruses and other security threats by monitoring your programs to make sure they use system memory safely.

Here is a link to an excellent article on DEP.
Whie it will show you how to turn DEP on, it will also take you to the control panel that will aloow you to adjust your settings.

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/1d9bb9b4-f6ba-466d-ac2b-7b8c4f8361611033.mspx

You can disable DEP by following these steps:

Disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) completely

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
   
2. Under Pick a category, click Performance and Maintenance.
   
3. Under or Pick a Control Panel icon, click System.
   
4. Click the Advanced tab, and in the Startup and Recovery area, click Settings.
   
5. In the SystemStartup area, click Edit.
   
6. In Notepad, click Edit and then click Find.
   
7. In the Find what field, type /noexecute and then click Find Next.
   
8. In the Find dialog box click Cancel.
   
9. Replace the policy_level (for example, "OptIn" default) with "AlwaysOff" (without the quotes).
   
   WARNING: Be sure to enter the text carefully. Your boot.ini file switch should now read:
   
   /noexecute=AlwaysOff
   
10. In Notepad, click File and then click Save.
    
11. Click OK to close Startup and Recovery.
    
12. Click OK to close System Properties and then restart your computer.

This setting does not provide any DEP coverage for any part of the system, regardless of hardware DEP support.
Verifying DEP is Disabled

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
   
2. Under Pick a category, click Performance and Maintenance.
   
3. Under or Pick a Control Panel icon, click System.
   
4. Click the Advanced tab.
   
5. In the Performance area, click Settings and then click Data Execution Prevention.
   
6. Verify that the DEP settings are unavailable and then click OK to close Performance Settings.
   
7. Click OK to close System Properties then close Performance and Maintenance.

Thank you!

windows xp has DEP ( data execution prevention ) some viruses etc use that sort of technique and from SP2 onwards I believe it was they included it.

http://www.zensoftware.co.uk/kb/article.aspx?id=10002

Several OSs have no-execute or execute protection. Microsoft has added this as well in SP2 with data execution prevention (DEP). This precents code execution in memory regions already marked as storage. This is a powerful tool against buffer overrun exploits. If a program is failing and you want to disable DEP to see if that is the cause. Here are the steps. (Just disable DEP for the program in question… don’t disable it for your whole system.)

1. Click Start
2. Select Control Panel
3. Select System
4. Click the Advanced tab
5. In the Performance region select Settings
6. Click the Data Execute tab in the dialog box that opens
7. Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except for those I select
8. Click Add.
9. The open dialog box will open. Browse and select your application.
10. Click Open
11. Click Apply
12. Click Ok
13. Reboot
