If this is in the wrong section do please move it.
On 24/12 I suddenly started getting messages telling me the "Catalyist Control Centre: Host application has stopped working." It's been closed by Data Executuion Prevention (DEP) that gives me the option to turn DEP off for an indivisual programme. However, when I try to do this I'm told DEP must be turned on can't be turned off for CCC. I used to be able to right click to get into CCC but can't now. I've not had this problem before & really don't know what to do! I tried a restore to 2 weeks ago but there was no improvement.
In order to get an acceptable look I turned AA on in FS but it's not as good as when I tweaked it using the CCC facility, which is unresponsive right now.
I plan on removing all ATI software & reinstalling hoping DEP won't interfere.......unless anyone has another way of dealing with it!
Thanks, Terry.

1. Update drivers. Remove the old ones and install the new ones which can be found on the ATi website.

2. Do you know what DEP is? It's designed to stop viruses. Maybe try running a virus scan.

3. You can also disable DEP. Go into system properties, advanced tab, performance, DEP tab...

Yes - I know what DEP is but it kicked in (after 5 months) soon after I d/l a Japanese airport RJ00 on the 24th. AVG scanned it before I unzipped it. Also Windows wouldn't let me disable DEP for CCC.

30/12=all ATI files removed & replaced which has solved the problem but I still don't know why DEP disabled the CCC after 6 months..... Huh
