Hello!

One of my new PCs here is running Windows XP Pro.

When my user goes to Start Menu > Search she was getting an DEP (data execution protection) error coming up saying it is preventing the application from running.

I changed the boot.ini file to have NoExecute=AlwaysOff which stopped the DEP from running.

But now when she opens up search she just gets a "Windows has encountered a problem and will close" (or something of that ilk!) ...

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Thanks
