This is mainly due to DEP - or Data Execution Prevention. DEP is set to run by default and can be usefull in protecting you from mallicious code, but you can add exceptions for certain programs by completing the following: Follow these steps to add an exception for the application: When the application fails, click the Advanced button. In the Data Execution Prevention dialog box, click Help protect all programs except. Click to select the check box next to the application, and then click Apply. When you are prompted to restart your system, click OK two times, and then restart your system. You can also add an exception for the application by using System Properties in Control Panel. To do this, follow these steps: Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK to open Control Panel. Click the Advanced tab, click Performance, and then click Settings.
