Guest Jim Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 For some unknown reason, Internet Explorer has ceased to function. Reason: DEP keeps the program from loading. I get a warning box telling me that DEP has shut down Explorer to protect my computer. I am running Vista Ultimate and have had no previous problems. Appreciate some guidance. Thanks. Quote

Most likely it is a bad DLL file gets loaded by the IE or a bad 'callee' function, because of installing toolbars or things of that sort. If it was the case, check the situation farther by using Process Explorer (from sysinternals). Quote
