Toshiba Satellite 15.4" Widescreen Notebook PC (A215-S4697)

Mid-size notebook: The Toshiba Satellite A215-S4697 is a mid-size notebook, perfect for light traveling or staying at home. This notebook has more than enough dual-core processing power for basic computing, entertainment and online communication—everything most people need.

Dual core/64-bit processing: The 1.6GHz AMD Turion™ 64 X2 TL-52 has two processing engines that work together, providing much more power than standard 1.6GHz processors. This processor can also process 64 bits of information at once, twice as much as older 32-bit processors. AMD PowerNow! enhances mobile performance and extends battery life.

This notebook features 1GB of advanced DDR2 system memory—enough to easily handle most computing tasks.
HyperTransport technology works like a fully-integrated frontside bus that increases bandwidth, reduces bottlenecks and enables processors to work more efficiently.
L2 caches keep data neat, organized, and nearby so processors can retrieve it quickly. This 2 x 512KB L2 cache will give the processor a little boost.
Hard drive: This 160GB hard drive has more than enough room for the typical collection of music, movies and multimedia. This drive’s data disks spin at 5400rpm. The faster they spin, the faster the data is read and written.

DVD SuperMulti drive: Burn DVDs and CDs to share your files, music mixes or home movies. You can even burn DVD-RAM discs—specially-formatted discs that let you drag and drop, or write and rewrite your files up to 100,000 times.

Widescreen display: This 15.4” widescreen features 1280 x 800 pixel (WXGA) resolution, providing sharp detail and plenty of room for whatever you want to view.

Microsoft® Windows® Vista™ Home Premium: This is the operating system for homes with advanced computer needs. And Vista Premium features the elegant new Aero interface. You’ll be able to use your notebook more effectively and enjoy new entertainment experiences—all with the benefit of added security and reliability.

Graphics and audio: This notebook features ATI Radeon® X1200 graphics and 319MB of shared video memory—drawn from system memory. You’ll be ready to enjoy fast-moving games and video. Built-in stereo speakers round out your multimedia enjoyment.

ExpressCard/54 slot: ExpressCard is an emerging standard in smaller, faster PC card solutions. This slot is compatible with ExpressCard/54 as well as ExpressCard/34. Use it to add memory, graphics upgrades or security devices.

Media card reader: Seamlessly transfer images from your digital camera, MP3 player or camcorder. This 5-in-1 reader is compatible with Secure Digital, xD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro and MultiMedia Card.

So I have an iPod [I think the one before the Chromatic] and a Touch. My old iTunes wasn’t compatible I guess with the Touch so I downloaded the newest version. When it was done downloading, I clicked on the iTunes icon and it said ‘iTunes has stopped working’. ‘A problem cause the program to stop working correctly.’ Then, ‘To help protect your computer, Data Execution Prevention has closed iTunes.’

I looked up DEP and it says : Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known as execute) code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files.

DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.

I have redownloaded iTunes multiple times and it won’t work.
Help me?

I got a new laptop. Its an ACER. I downloaded Windows Live Messenger. When I try to sign on this happens:

MESSENGER HAS STOPPED WORKING.
A problem caused the problem to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Then this pops up:

Help!?

I am unable to open Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser and I get Windows Help and Support Screen where I get this message:

I want to Turn OFF DEP for all programs and services.

My Opera and Mozilla Firefox browsers are working extremely well now.

Kindly help me please to start my Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.

I end up getting a message that appears on the task bar at the bottom of the screen about how "Data Execution Prevention"
"To help protect your computer DEP has closed Internet Explorer"

I have internet security software installed, (Norton Internet Security 2009) so why is this happening? (My lap top uses Vista)

From Windows Help and Support:

Should I do a system recovery or system restore to restore Internet Explorer 7 that was originally installed on my lap top?
Although IE 7 crashes regularly when I use it.
