4. Right-click on 'My Computer' and click 'Properties.' Select the 'Advanced' tab, then click 'Settings' in the 'Performance' section.
5. Click the 'Data Execution Prevention' tab and select the 'Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only' option. Press 'OK' and reboot if prompted. Repeat steps one through three--your problem should be resolved.
