Is "Data Execution Prevention" what it said? All that means that something is preventing the program from running.

This isn't the Gas Chamber, quit with the idiocy.

Looks like MSN is reading a virus or somesort and closing it so it doesn't spread. Try uninstalling and reinstalling. If that doesn't work, find everything MSN in the windows folder, uninstall, and genocide by hand what's left over.

Island have you scanned it with an Anti-Virus program?

It might also be a rootkit, so check for those as well. If problems continue, do the aforementioned in Safe Mode.

You can always turn off DEP for a particular app once you're sure it's not a virus:

Control Panel --> Advanced --> Performance Options --> Data Execution Prevention

Or use the old MSN Web Messenger in the time being. Or switch to Trillian ^_^

Ultimate_Gohan · 05-25-2008

A firewall may block it...? And, like Inuyasha said, use "Windows Messenger".

I think it was just a Vista quirk. Said he fixed it by running it as an administrator.
