I have had the computer for nearly two weeks now and have recovered
to the Factory Settings more times than my poor old Granny had hot
dinners. Joking apart, I am not really a computer wiz kid and all I
wanted was a nice new shiny computer which was possible a bit faster
than my old steam driven version. I have been left with one or more
problems, which I could well do without.

Sometimes you have to do a bit of troubleshooting. If you can't or
won't do it yourself you will have to pay someone else. Complaing
about a problem but not trying to find it's cause will get you
nowhere. At the very least try uninstalling Blackice.


Kerry,
I had already tried uninstalling BlackICE which resolved the problem.
The reason I came to this newsgroup was an attempt to discover the
reason and possible answer to my problem, so far I have not received
much constructive assistance. See my post
news:%23mgCWbkKGHA.3272@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in answer to Malke.

I read the other post. It appears you do not understand what DEP is or how
it works. Progams that cause DEP exceptions are doing something wrong. Just
because it used to be fairly common for some compilers to "optimize" code in
a way that now causes a DEP exception doesn't mean that DEP is something bad
or at fault. In a properly written program there is no need to execute code
from an area of memory reserved for data. To allow this is a major security
risk that goes way beyond just buffer overflows. The links you provided
actually say that DEP is a good thing but that older programs may have
problems with DEP enabled, exactly what happened to you.

Several people in this newsgroup tried to help you. The solution to your
problem was pinpointed by several people. Black Ice needs to be updated to
support DEP. If they can't then their technical ability is in doubt. If they
won't then it's time to look for a new program.
