We're talking XP Professional Edition here.

Every time I open a folder with an AVI file in it I get this annoying prompt.

In the past, I'd simply ignore the message and go about my business and then, after closing the file, I'd close the Data Execution Prevention message whereupon the screen would go blank for a few seconds and then reappear with all of my windows closed.

It was annoying, but I could live with it.

Now however, the computer will oftentimes freeze up altogether requiring a reboot.

There's nothing wrong with the computer itself.

The problem, as I understand it, is that Windows no longer likes one of my old video editing programs (Pinnacle Studio 9) and acts this way whether the program is open or closed.

Getting rid of this particular program is not an option, for reasons too lengthy to go into here.

So... anybody know how best to turn Windows Data Execution Prevention off completely and irrevocably?
