Internet Explorer 9 DEP crashes

[marcus1870]

I recently have been experiencing the dreaded DEP error problems.

I have Vista x64 Home Premium. When I open up internet options, select advanced, i see that the DEP option is checked but grayed out so I am unable to uncheck it.

The problem now is so pervasive that almost every internet page I go to will give me the error when I attempt to go further along that page. For example, typing in account # and password, then "Go", it crashes and does not let me go further.

I attempted to navigate along a website, going through options to purchase an item and every time I click "Next" it crashes, giving me the DEP messages.

I am at my wit's end. This almost, almost makes me want to get an Apple product!

I tried going via the administrator route and got to the advanced section but couldn't figure out how to disable the DEP option.

I attempted to go back a week on the system restore but still no luck so it must have happened even before.

Also, I am now unable to turn on Windows Defender now ( i had disabled it earlier because of some issues) but now it gives me an error when I try to do it.

Any ideas?

Hello, and welcome to the Vista Forums!

My first guess would be a bad addon. Can I please request you to work through this tutorial: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/114310-internet-explorer-reset.html

Also, I am now unable to turn on Windows Defender now ( i had disabled it earlier because of some issues) but now it gives me an error when I try to do it.

What is the error code or message returned?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

The process of clearing these issues is very simple.

Run IE 9 without any plug-in, add-ons or other extension.

That is, if the software is yet to be installed.

If it has already been installed then disable the add-ons.

It is important to check what are the add ons that cause the crashing if that is the case; this can be done by clicking on ‘Start’, then on ‘All programs’, then on ‘Accessories’, then on ‘System tools’.

Click on Internet explorer again and again click on the ‘Tools’ option.

Follow this by clicking on ‘Manage add-ons’. There will be an option under show: all add ons.

Open the option and click on any add on and press the ‘CTRL + A’ on the keyboard.

That should help select all the add ons; once that is done simply disable all the add ons and click ‘Close’.

Finally close Internet Explorer and open it again.

At this stage if it continues to open and work correctly then the add-on enabled manually will work properly and will stay! The constant problems of the browser crashing can be avoided.
