sounds like you might have data execution prevention enabled for all programs. you could goto Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab > Performance Settings > Data Execution Prevention. and see if its set for all program or just windows services.

I don't know what options are correct,so here is a picture with my settings now.

Do you have an AMD x64 or Intel EMT64 processor? If so, DEP is enabled by default no matter what is set in the GUI. You have to use boot.ini options to turn it off.

I have Pentium 4,but I like to know what txt lines I must add to boot.ini to disable DEP?
