Windows Data Execution Prevention

[Bill M]

How do I get rid of this? It will not let me open any folder that contains my videos whether on my main HD or an external one. I've had it with this. Help please.

never personally had a problem there, you got some virus program or something else?

[Bill M]

I run AVG virus program. I only have a problem when I'm going to "My Videos". I also run spyware dr. Do you think either of these could be part of the problem?

Thanks for the links.

BTW, I'm still running XP on a two year old computer I had built. Could it possibly be my version of Media Player doesn't want to play nice with the DPE?

well since I've never personally had that problem its sort of hard to tell you.
