OS: Vista Home Premium (Dell OEM)

Data Execution Prevention is causing my IE7 to crash when visiting some
websites - 70+ times in 2 weeks of using Vista! These sites are fine on
Windows XP/IE7.

In an attempt to fix the problem I have tried turning on DEP for all
programs and add IE7 to exception but without any success - the same
sites are still crashing.

Is there a way to turn off DEP altogether?

Which sites are these? I have yet to have a problem with DEP.

This site requires 'java'. You might try getting the latest java engine.
(java.com)

Latest Sun Java JRE is already installed.

I have been experimenting with disabling ActiveX add-ons and some
websites work fine when I disable the Flash Player (and yes, it is
already on the latest version too)

I just tried that site and I get 1.5 down 320 up.
A bit slow but it works OK.
I have full hardware DEP on a core 2 duo processor.

RE: DEP keeps closing IE7, what's gives?

I was having the same trouble! I found out you can right click your IE7 icon
and select "Run as administrator" then go to Tools, Internet Options,
Advanced tab then scroll to the bottom and look near the top of the list;
you'll find "Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks".
deselect it. Close Internet Options and surf away. I haven't had any problems
since I made this change.

RE: DEP keeps closing IE7, what's gives?

Welcome to the club. I am running Vista "Ultimate" on a dual core system with
4GB of Ram and still I suffer from the same failures. either IE7 fails to
start when a link is followed and tell me that DEP has closed it, or it loads
and fails to find the sites and returns a blank page. Refreshing from the
blank page usually is sucessful, but not always. DEP is a good idea,but not
in it's current form. There should be some way to control its aggressive
actions. There should be more control put in place so it does not effect what
is loaded and ran on the computer, until the software puts the OS at risk

Re: DEP keeps closing IE7, what's gives?

Are you sure the sites aren't even unknowingly hosting some form of
adware/malware?

Or that your browser cache etc isn't now corrupt and when you visit
those sites, the cache (or cookies, or something else) isn't the fault?

I use IE 64-bit version, DEP is always on (and for everything).

I tend to use FF 3.0b though most of the time (with NoScript).
