DEP error

Posted: Sat Aug 25, 2007 6:01 am Post subject: DEP error Post Rating: 0

I am getting a Data Execution Provention error when I try to play episode five of Anego. I downloaded the series a while ago and was able to watch it fine at the time, but now the error comes up every time.

To ensure it wasn't the specific file on my computer, I deleted and re-downloaded the batch torrent. I even downloaded it again on another computer. No luck, I get a date execution prevention error every time.

Anyone have any thoughts on that's causing this and how to fix it?

This is just what i found out doing a google.

-----------------------------------
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Microsoft Windows XP SP2 uses the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature to help prevent damage from viruses and from other security threats.

DEP works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory locations as "non-executable." If a program tries to run code from a protected location, DEP closes the program and notifies you, whether the code is malicious or not.

Back to the top
RESOLUTION
To avoid this behavior, contact your program vendor to see if an update is available that enables the program to work correctly with DEP.

from what it says, it may not be the file your trying to play but the program ur trying to use. what's ur player? have u updated it since you have gotten the error?

I hope it helps somehow. Good luck.

I have tried several different players. Windows media player, the core media player and VLC. They all generate the same error.

Like I said, I had previously been able to play episode five, but now I can't even though I have re-downloaded the batch file both on this computer and on another computer.
