    Data Execution Prevention (crashes explorer.exe)

    Recently I had come across problem when I try to look through certain directories, the problem is mainly arising when directories is ones with video files opening such directory create error as "Data Execution Prevention - Windows has come across a problem and its need to close." To resolve such problem I have tried many things one of them which I did is that disable Data Execution Prevention for my computer windows explorer after which now I am not getting such Data Execution Prevention message. But one error that I am still getting is "Windows has come across a problem and it needs to close." Which is still not solved similar a similar problem i used to face with my older machine which i just replace afterward. So if anybody has any solution for my problems please post the reply for it,t will be appreciable if my problem is solved by your solution.

    Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a set of hardware and software technologies that used to perform additional checks on memory to help prevent malicious code from running on your system. In Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, Data Execution Prevention is enforced by hardware and by software.The basic benefit that is provided by Data Execution Prevention is that it prevent code execution from data pages. Typically, code is not executed from the default heap and the stack. Hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention detects code that is running from these locations and raises an exception when execution occurs. Software-enforced DEP can help prevent malicious code from taking advantage of exception-handling mechanisms in Windows. You can also disable your data execution prevention after which you can resolve your problem.
