Cadzow 2000 Launches and Immediately Closes

When you launch Cadzow 2000, it may immediately close.

This can occur if 32- or 64-bit editions of Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2003/Vista/2008 or later Data Execution Prevention (DEP) has detected a suspicious instruction (of the type associated with buffer overflows) and shut it down.

This seems to occur only with hardware-enforced DEP, which requires processor support and certain configuration options. It does not appear to happen with software-enforced DEP.

To resolve:

1. You will most likely be prompted with a message:

   Data Execution Prevention
   To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program.
   Name: Microsoft Access
   Publisher: Microsoft Corporation

2. Choose Change Settings.

3. Under Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select, click to enable Microsoft Access.

4. Choose OK.

5. Choose Close Message.

Another method is:

1. Click Start.

2. Windows XP/2003 only: Choose Run.

3. Type SYSDM.CPL.

   The System applet should appear.

4. Choose the Advanced tab.

5. Click Performance / Settings.

6. Choose the Data Execution Prevention tab.

7. Click Add.

8. Add MSACCESS.EXE from the relevant folder. For example, if using the Microsoft Access 97 Runtime, the default path is:

   C:\Program Files\Access97\Runtime\Office\MSACCESS.EXE

   It may also be under:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Access97\Runtime\Office\MSACCESS.EXE

   

9. Cick OK to close the Performance Options dialog.

If adding the specific instance of MSACCESS.EXE does not work, simply disable DEP for all third-party applications by selecting Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only.
