When I start the software on Windows Vista I receive an error that the program has stopped working. How can I fix this?


This is caused by having Data Execution Protection turned on for all processes. Many PC manuacturers will enable this by default on Windows Vista, even though it causes problems with many software products.

To solve the problem follow these simple steps:

  1. Click the Start Menu then Control Panel, then System.

  2. Select Advanced System Setting on the Left then click the Settings button under Performance and select the Data Execution Protection tab.

  3. Select Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only OR click the Add... button to add the program to the exclusion list.

  4. Click OK then reboot the computer.
