I can't find the original post I had made about a week ago, so am posting a
new.
Whenever I attempt to open my "Printers and Faxes" folder in a window, Data
Execution Prevention closes Windows Explorer. For some reason, this does not
occur for any other folder I attempt to access, despite them all using
Windows Explorer.
I went ahead and changed the settings for DEP so that it would prevent the
operation of programs other than Windows Explorer (i.e., Windows Explorer is
excepted from DEP intervention). However, upon doing that, the problem was
simply altered. Rather than DEP stopping Windows Explorer from operating,
Windows Explorer crashes and I get the message that it has experienced a
severe problem and needs to close. When I attempt to debug the program, it
just freezes everything until I get convinced to turn off the machine.
Any thoughts on a fix?? My searches continue to refer me to information
about what DEP is and how to change its settings. Searches for reinstalling
Windows Explorer have not given an avenue for doing so.
